28"For I tell you, among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer, yet he who is least in the kingdom of God is greater than he."
29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they justified God, being baptized with John`s baptism.
30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
31The Lord said, "To what then will I liken the men of this generation? What are they like?
32They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call one to another, saying, `We piped to you, and you didn`t dance. We mourned, and you didn`t weep.`
33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, `He has a demon.`
34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, `Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!`
