Revised Version 1885

Matthew 11:16-19 Revised Version 1885 (RV1885)

16. But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, which call unto their fellows,

17. and say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not mourn.

18. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil.

19. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! And wisdom is justified by her works.
