  1. 29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.
  2. 30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.
  3. 31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
  4. 32They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’
  5. 33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’
