16
"But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates,
17
'We piped to you, and you did not dance; we wailed, and you did not mourn.'
18
For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, 'He has a demon';
19
the Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, 'Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!' Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds."
