Luke 7:31-35

An Unresponsive Generation

31 "To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to each other: We played the flute for you, but you didn't dance; we sang a lament, but you didn't weep!
33 For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
35 Yet wisdom is vindicated [a] by all her children."
