Matthew 11:14-19
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is Elijah who is to come.(A) 15 Let anyone with ears[a] listen!(B)
16 “But to what will I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to one another,
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we wailed, and 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.”[b](C)
