31. Jesus continued, “Now to what can I compare the people of this day? What are they like?
32. They are like children sitting in the market place. One group shouts to the other, ‘We played wedding music for you, but you wouldn't dance! We sang funeral songs, but you wouldn't cry!’
33. John the Baptist came, and he fasted and drank no wine, and you said, ‘He has a demon in him!’
34. The Son of Man came, and he ate and drank, and you said, ‘Look at this man! He is a glutton and a drinker, a friend of tax collectors and other outcasts!’
35. God's wisdom, however, is shown to be true by all who accept it.”
36. A Pharisee invited Jesus to have dinner with him, and Jesus went to his house and sat down to eat.
