Luke 7:32

Luke 7:32

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.’

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!’

John Wesley's Notes

<< Luke 7:31

Luke 7:33 >>

They are like children sitting in the market place - So froward and perverse, that no contrivance can be found to please them. It is plain our Lord means, that they were like the children complained of, not like those that made the complaint.
