Luke 7:33

Read in context

Luke 7:31–35 · Berean Standard Bible

31 “To what, then, can I compare the men of this generation? What are they like?

32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling out to one another: ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not weep.’

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35 But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
