16But what comparison may I make of this generation? It is like children seated in the market-places, crying out to one another,
17We made music for you and you did not take part in the dance; we gave cries of sorrow and you made no signs of grief.
18For John came, taking no food or drink, and they say, He has an evil spirit.
19The Son of man has come feasting, and they say, See, a lover of food and wine, a friend of tax-farmers and sinners! And wisdom is judged to be right by her works.

21Unhappy are you, Chorazin! Unhappy are you, Beth-saida! For if the works of power which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have been turned from their sins in days gone by, clothing themselves in haircloth and putting dust on their heads.
22But I say to you, It will be better for Tyre and Sidon in the day of judging, than for you.
