Luke 7:24-35

24
And when the messengers of Iohn were departed, hee began to speake vnto the people, of Iohn, What went ye out into the wildernes to see? A reede shaken with the winde?
25
But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft rayment? beholde, they which are gorgeously apparelled, and liue delicately, are in Kings courtes.
26
But what went ye foorth to see? A Prophet? yea, I say to you, and greater then a Prophet.
27
This is he of whom it is written, Beholde, I sende my messenger before thy face, which shall prepare thy way before thee.
28
For I say vnto you, there is no greater Prophet then Iohn, among them that are begotten of women: neuerthelesse, hee that is the least in the kingdome of God, is greater then he.
29
Then all the people that heard, and the Publicanes iustified God, being baptized with the baptisme of Iohn.
30
But the Pharises and the expounders of the Law despised the counsell of God against themselues, and were not baptized of him.
31
And the Lord saide, Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation? and what thing are they like vnto?
32
They are like vnto litle children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, We haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not daunced: we haue mourned to you, and ye haue not wept.
33
For Iohn Baptist came, neither eating bread, nor drinking wine: and ye say, He hath the deuil.
34
The Sonne of man is come, and eateth and drinketh: and ye say, Beholde, a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of Publicanes and sinners:
35
But wisdome is iustified of all her children.
