New Living Translation
Luke 7:30-35
30But the Pharisees and experts in religious law rejected God’s plan for them, for they had refused John’s baptism.
31“To what can I compare the people of this generation?” Jesus asked. “How can I describe them?
32They are like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends, ‘We played wedding songs, and you didn’t dance, so we played funeral songs, and you didn’t weep.’
33For John the Baptist didn’t spend his time eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’
34The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’
35But wisdom is shown to be right by the lives of those who follow it.”
