Luke 7 : 28 - 35
Chapter 7
| 28 | For I say to you, among those born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
|
| 29 | And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors justified God, having been baptized with the baptism of John.
|
| 30 | But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
|
| 31 | And the Lord said, "To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?
|
| 32 | They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying: "We played the flute for you, And you did not dance; We mourned to you, And you did not weep.'
|
| 33 | For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, "He has a demon.'
|
| 34 | The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, "Look, a glutton and a winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!'
|
| 35 | But wisdom is justified by all her children."
