A Question From John The Baptist

32 They are like children sitting about in the bazaar and calling out to one another, " 'We have played the flute for you, and you would not dance! We have wailed and you would not weep!' 33  "For when John the Baptist came, he did not eat any bread or drink any wine, and you said, 'He has a demon!' 34 Now that the Son of Man has come, he does eat and drink, and you say, 'Look at him! A glutton and a drinker, the companion of tax-collectors and irreligious people!'
