Luke 7:32
They are like unto children - See on Matthew 11:16-19 (note). It is probable that our Lord alludes here to some play or game among the Jewish children, no account of which is now on record.
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.’
33 For aJohn the Baptist came bneither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
34 The Son of Man has come aeating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a1 winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’
