Luke 7:29-35

29

AllG3956 theG3588 peopleG2992 who heardG191 this, evenG2532 theG3588 tax collectorsG5057, acknowledged God’s justiceG1344G3588G2316. For they had received the baptismG907G3588G908 of JohnG2491. 30ButG1161 theG3588 PhariseesG5330 andG2532 experts in the lawG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 forG1519 themselvesG1438, because they had notG3361 been baptizedG907 byG5259 John.

31“To whatG5101, thenG3767, can I compareG3666 theG3588 menG444 of thisG3778 generationG1074? WhatG5101 are theyG1510 likeG3664? 32They areG1510 likeG3664 childrenG3813 sittingG2521 inG1722 the marketplaceG58 andG2532 calling outG4377 to one anotherG240G3739G3004:

‘We played the fluteG832 for youG4771,andG2532 you did not danceG3756G3738;we sang a dirgeG2354,andG2532 you did not weepG3756G2799.’

33ForG1063 JohnG2491 theG3588 BaptistG910 cameG2064 neitherG3361 eatingG2068 breadG740 norG3383 drinkingG4095 wineG3631, andG2532 you sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 34TheG3588 SonG5207 of ManG444 cameG2064 eatingG2068 andG2532 drinkingG4095, andG2532 you sayG3004, ‘LookG2400 at this gluttonG5314 andG2532 drunkardG3630, a friendG5384 of tax collectorsG5057 andG2532 sinnersG268!’ 35ButG2532 wisdomG4678 is vindicatedG1344 byG575 allG3956 herG846 childrenG5043.”
