Matthew 11:17 Context
15Hee that hath eares to heare, let him heare. 16¶ But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like vnto children, sitting in the markets, and calling vnto their fellowes, 17And saying, we haue piped vnto you, and ye haue not danced: wee haue mourned vnto you, and ye haue not lamented. 18For Iohn came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, he hath a deuill. 19The sonne of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a wine bibber, a friend of publicanes and sinners: but wisedom is iustified of her children.
