Nevertheless, one that is less in the kingdom of God, is greater than he." ²⁹ And all the people that heard, and the publicans, justified God and were baptised with the baptism of John. ³⁰ But the Pharisees and scribes despised the counsel of God, against themselves, and were not baptised of him. ³¹ And the Lord said, "Whereunto shall I liken the men of this generation: and what thing are they like? ³² They are like unto children sitting in the market place, and crying one to another, and saying, 'We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced: We have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.' ³³ For John Baptist came unto you neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, 'He hath the devil.' ³⁴ The son of man is come, and eateth and drinketh, and ye say, 'Behold a man which is a glutton, and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.' ³⁵ Yet is wisdom justified of all her children."
