Luke 7:32 - Robertson's Word Pictures (NT)

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!’
