28 For I say to you, among those born of women there is1 not a agreater prophet than John the Baptist; but he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he.”
29 And when all the people heard Him, even the tax collectors1 justified God, ahaving been baptized with the baptism of John.
30 But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected athe will of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.
31 And the Lord said, a“To what then shall I liken the men of this generation, and what are they like?
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’
