27This is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, Who shall prepare thy way before thee.
28I say unto you, Among them that are born of women there is none greater than John: yet he that is but little in the kingdom of God is greater than he.
29And all the people when they heard, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected for themselves the counsel of God, being not baptized of him.
31Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation, and to what are they like?
32They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep.
33For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon.
