CLV(i)
28 For verily I am saying to you, A greater prophet, among those born of women, than John the baptist, there is not one. Yet the smaller, in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 And hearing, the entire people, even the tribute collectors, justify God, being baptized with the baptism of John."
30 Yet the Pharisees and those learned in the law repudiate the counsel of God for themselves, not being baptized by him."
31 To whom, then, shall I be likening the men of this generation, and to whom are they like?
32 Like are they to little boys and girls sitting in the market and shouting to one another and saying, 'We flute to you and you do not dance! We wail to you and you do not lament!'"
33 For come has John the baptist, neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you are saying, 'A demon has he!'"
34 Come has the Son of Mankind, eating and drinking, and you are saying, "'Lo! a man gluttonous and a tippler, a friend of tribute collectors and sinners!'"
35 And justified was Wisdom by all her children."
