Luke 7:26-36
-
26 But what went ye out for to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and much more than a prophet.
-
27 This is he, of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
-
28 For I say unto you, Among those that are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptist: but he that is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
-
29 And all the people that heard him, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
-
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized of him.
-
31 And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?
-
32 They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.
-
33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
-
34 The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!
-
35 But wisdom is justified of all her children.
-
36 And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he went into the Pharisee's house, and sat down to meat.
