Luke 7:29-35

29(And when all the people, including the tax collectors, heard this, they acknowledged God’s way of righteousness, because they had been baptized with John’s baptism.

30But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like?

32They 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!

33For John the Baptist did not come eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
