‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’

Luke 7:30
Rejected for themselves (hqethsan eiv eautouv). The first aorist active of aqetew first seen in LXX and Polybius. Occurs in the papyri. These legalistic interpreters of the law refused to admit the need of confession of sin on their part and so set aside the baptism of John. They annulled God's purposes of grace so far as they applied to them.
Being not baptized by him (mh baptisqentev up autou). First aorist passive participle. Mh is the usual negative of the participle in the Koin‚.
