Luke 7:29-35

29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they acknowledged 1God’s justice, 2having been baptized with 3the baptism of John. 30But the Pharisees and the 45lawyers rejected God’s purpose for themselves, not having been baptized by 6John.

31“To what then shall I compare the people of this generation, and what are they like? 32They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, and say, ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a song of mourning, and you did not weep.’ 33For John the Baptist has come neither 7eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’ 34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man and a 8heavy drinker, a friend of tax collectors and 9sinners!’ 35And yet wisdom 10is vindicated by all her children.”
