MNT(i)
28 "I tell you that among all that are born of women not one is greater than John; yet he that is little in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29 On hearing this all the people and the tax-gatherers acknowledged the justice of God by being baptized with the baptism of John;
30 but the Pharisees and lawyers who had refused his baptism, frustrated God's purpose for themselves.
31 "To what then shall I compare the men of this generation?
32 "To What are they like, they are like children sitting in the market-place and calling to one another. "'We have piped to you,' they say, 'and you have not danced; we have wailed, and you did not cry.'
33 "For John the Baptist has come eating no bread and drinking no wine, and you say, 'He has a demon!'
34 "The son of man has come eating and drinking, and you say, 'Behold a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners!'
35 "Nevertheless, wisdom is justified by all her children."
