Matthew 11:16-19

Christian Standard Bible

An Unresponsive Generation

¹⁶ “To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to other children:

¹⁸ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon!’^{(A) 19} The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard,^(B) a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’^(C) Yet wisdom is vindicated^[b] by her deeds.”^[c]
