Luke 7:29-35
29When allG3956 the peopleG2992 and the taxG5057 collectorsG5057 heardG191 this, they acknowledgedG1344 1God’sG2316 justiceG1344, 2having been baptizedG907 with 3the baptismG908 of JohnG2491. 30But the PhariseesG5330 and the 45lawyersG3544 rejectedG114 God’sG2316 purposeG1012 for themselvesG1438, not having been baptizedG907 by 6John.
31“To whatG5101 thenG3767 shall I compareG3666 the peopleG444 of thisG3778 generationG1074, and whatG5101 are they likeG3664? 32They are likeG3664 childrenG3813 who sitG2521 in the marketplaceG58 and callG4377 toG4377 oneG240 anotherG240, and sayG3004, ‘We playedG832 theG832 fluteG832 for you, and you did not danceG3738; we sangG2354 aG2354 songG2354 ofG2354 mourningG2354, and you did not weepG2799.’ 33For JohnG2491 the BaptistG910 has comeG2064 neitherG3361 7eatingG2068 breadG740 norG3383 drinkingG4095 wineG3631, and you sayG3004, ‘He hasG2192 a demonG1140!’ 34The SonG5207 of ManG444 has comeG2064 eatingG2068 and drinkingG4095, and you sayG3004, ‘BeholdG2400, a gluttonousG5314 manG444 and a 8heavyG3630 drinkerG3630, a friendG5384 of taxG5057 collectorsG5057 and 9sinnersG268!’ 35And yet wisdomG4678 10is vindicatedG1344 by allG3956 her childrenG5043.”
