For this is he, of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee." For I assure you that in the whole human race there hath not risen a greater than John the baptist: though the lest in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he: and from the days of John the baptist to this time, the kingdom of heaven is as it were forced into, and the most pressing seize upon it with eagerness. For all the prophets, and the law, did no more than prophesy, till John came: and, if ye are willing to receive the truth, This is that Elias who was to come. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. But to what shall I compare this generation? they are like children sitting in the market-places, and calling to their companions, and saying "We have sung and ye have not danced; we have mourned, and ye have not lamented:" for John came neither eating nor drinking as others do, and they say, He is beside himself: the Son of man came eating and drinking like other men, and they call Him a gluttonous man, and a wine-bibber, and a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.

This is he of whom it is written, "Behold I send my messenger before thy face, who shall prepare thy way before thee:" for I tell you that among the sons of men there is not a greater prophet than John the baptist: (though the least in the kingdom of God is greater than he:) ---and all the people that heard him, even the publicans, justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John; but the pharisees indeed and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God within themselves, and were not baptized by him.--- Whereunto therefore shall I compare the men of this generation? and to what are they like? they are like children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, "We have played pleasant tunes to you, and ye have not danced; we have sung mournful ones and ye have not wept:" for John the baptist came neither eating bread, nor drinking wine, and ye say, he hath a demon:
