Matthew 11:14-19
English Standard Version
14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (A)Elijah who is to come. 15 (B)He who has ears to hear,[a] let him hear.
16 “But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,
17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came (C)neither eating (D)nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came (E)eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, (F)a friend of (G)tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”[b]
