Matthew 11:12-17
English Standard Version
12 (A)From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of heaven has suffered violence,[a] and the violent take it by force. 13 (B)For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John, 14 and if you are willing to accept it, he is (C)Elijah who is to come. 15 (D)He who has ears to hear,[b] 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.’
