What then did you go out to see? A prophet?

It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to other children:We played the flute for you, but you didn’t dance; we sang a lament, but you didn’t mourn!For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say,‘ He has a demon!’The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say,‘ Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds.”
