for this is he, concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before my face, who will prepare thy way before thee. Truly I say unto you, Among those having been born of women there has not risen a greater than John the Baptist: nevertheless the least in the kingdom of the heavens is greater than he. From the days of John the Baptist until now the kingdom of the heavens suffers violence, and the violent are taking it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John. And if you wish to receive it, he is Elijah, who is to come. Let the one having ears to hear, hear. But to whom shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to their comrades, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not lament. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He has a demon. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold, a gluttonous and wine-drinking man, a friend of publicans and sinners. Wisdom is truly justified by her children.
This is he concerning whom it has been written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face, who will prepare thy way before thee.

And all the people hearing and the publicans justified God, being baptized with the baptism of John. But the Pharisees and theologians rejected the counsel of God, against themselves, not having been baptized by him. Then to whom shall I liken the men of this generation, and to whom are they like? They are like unto little children sitting in the market-place, and calling to one another, and saying, We piped unto you, and you did not dance; we mourned unto you, and you did not weep. For John the Baptist has come neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say, He has a demon.

And having set them in the midst, asked them, By what power or in what name have you done this? Then Peter being full of the Holy Spirit said to them, Ye rulers of the people and elders, if we are this day judged for the benefaction of the impotent man, by whom he has been saved, let it be known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ, the Nazarene whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, through him this man now stands sound in your presence.
