31 “With whom, therefore, should I compare the men of this generation, and whom are they like?+ 32 They are like young children sitting in a marketplace and calling out to one another, saying: ‘We played the flute for you, but you did not dance; we wailed, but you did not weep.’ 33 Likewise, John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine,+ but you say: ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of man has come eating and drinking, but you say: ‘Look! A man who is a glutton and is given to drinking wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’+ 35 All the same, wisdom is proved righteous* by all its children.”*+
