13. For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14. And if you are willing to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come.
15. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.
16. “But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the markets, calling to their friends,
17. saying: ‘We played the flute for you,and you did not dance;we sang a dirge to you,and you did not mourn.’
18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
19. The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a gluttonous man, a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is justified by her children.”
