* For I say (5719 ) unto you , Among those that are born of women there is (5748 ) not a greater prophet than John the Baptist : but he that is least in the kingdom of God is (5748 ) greater than he . * And all the people that heard (5660 ) him , and the publicans , justified (5656 ) God , being baptized (5685 ) with the baptism of John . * But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected (5656 ) the counsel of God against themselves , being not baptized (5685 ) of him . * And the Lord said (5627 ), Whereunto then shall I liken (5692 ) the men of this generation ? and to what are they (5748 ) like ? * They are (5748 ) like unto children sitting (5740 ) in the marketplace , and calling (5719 ) (5723 ) one to another , and saying (5719 ) (5723 ), We have piped (5656 ) unto you , and ye have not danced (5662 ); we have mourned (5656 ) to you , and ye have not wept (5656 ). * For John the Baptist came (5754 ) neither eating (5723 ) bread nor drinking (5723 ) wine ; and ye say (5719 ), He hath (5719 ) a devil . * The Son of man is come (5754 ) eating (5723 ) and drinking (5723 ); and ye say (5719 ), Behold (5628 ) a gluttonous man , and a winebibber , a friend of publicans and sinners ! * But wisdom is justified (5681 ) of all her children .
