13 For all the prophets and the Torah prophesied until the time of John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.
15 He who has ears, let him hear!
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call to one other, saying,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance. We wailed, but 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, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
