Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
But whereunto shall I liken this generation? - That is, the Jewish people - , this race: and so the word is often to be understood in the evangelists.
In the markets - Or, places of concourse, , from , I gather together; not a market-place only, but any place of public resort: probably meaning here, places of public amusement.
Calling unto their fellows - Or, companions. Instead of , companions, many of the best MSS. have , others. The great similarity of the words might have easily produced this difference.
There are some to whom every thing is useful in leading them to God; others, to whom nothing is sufficient. Every thing is good to an upright mind, every thing bad to a vicious heart.
