Matthew    11:16-19

11:16 But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplace,

11:17 who, calling out to their companions, say: ‘We played music for you, and you did not dance. We lamented, and you did not mourn.’

11:18 For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say, ‘He has a demon.’

11:19 The Son of man came eating and drinking; and they say, ‘Behold, a man who eats voraciously and who drinks wine, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’ But wisdom is justified by her sons.”
