Luke 7:24-33

24When the messengersG32 of JohnG2491 had leftG565, He beganG757 to speakG3004 to the crowdsG3793 aboutG4012 JohnG2491, “WhatG5101 did you goG1831 out into the wildernessG2048 to seeG2300? A reedG2563 shakenG4531 by the windG417? 251But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A manG444 dressedG294 in softG3120 2clothingG2440? ThoseG3588 who are splendidlyG1741 clothedG2441 and liveG5225 in luxuryG5172 are found in royalG933 palacesG933! 26But whatG5101 did you goG1831 out to seeG3708? A prophetG4396? YesG3483, I sayG3004 to you, and one who is moreG4053 than a prophetG4396. 27ThisG3778 is the one aboutG4012 whomG3739 it is writtenG1125, ‘3BeholdG2400, I sendG649 My messengerG32 4aheadG4253 of You, WhoG3739 will prepareG2680 Your wayG3598 beforeG1715 You.’ 28I sayG3004 to you, amongG1722 those bornG1084 of womenG1135 there is noG3762 oneG3762 greaterG3173 than JohnG2491; yetG1161 he who is 5leastG3398 in the kingdomG932 of GodG2316 is greaterG3173 than he.” 29When allG3956 the peopleG2992 and the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 heardG191 this, they 6acknowledgedG1344 7God’sG2316 justiceG1344, 8having been baptizedG907 with 9the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the 1011lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 for themselvesG1438, not having been baptizedG907 by 12John.

31“To whatG5101 thenG3767 shall I compareG3666 the menG444 of thisG3778 generationG1074, and whatG5101 are they likeG3664? 32They are likeG3664 childrenG3813 who sitG2521 in the marketG58 placeG58 and callG4377 to oneG240 anotherG240, and they sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 the fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 a dirgeG2354, and you did not weepG2799.’ 33For JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has comeG2064 13eatingG2068 noG3361 breadG740 and drinkingG4095 noG3383 wineG3631, and you sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’
