12 But from the days of John the Baptist, even until now, the kingdom of heaven has endured violence, and the violent carry it away.
13 For all the prophets and the law prophesied, even until John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah, who is to come.
15 Whoever has ears to hear, let him hear.
16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace,
17 who, calling out to their companions, say: 'We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.'
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, 'He has a demon.'
