This is he of whom I said, After me comes a man who was before me, for he was before me. And I knew him not; but that he might be made manifest to Israel, for this reason have I come baptizing with water.

For he whom God has sent speaks the words of God; for God gives not the Spirit by measure. The Father loves the Son, and has given all things into his hand. He that believes on the Son has eternal life; but he that disbelieves the Son shall not see life, but the wrath of God continues on him.

For this is he of whom it is written; Behold, I send my messenger before your face, to prepare your way before you. I tell you truly, there has not arisen among those born of woman a greater than John the Baptist; but the least in the kingdom of heaven is greater than he. And from the days of John the Baptist till now the kingdom of heaven suffers violence, and the violent take it by force. For all the prophets and the law prophesied till John. And if you will receive it, this is Elijah, who was to come. He that has ears, let him hear. To what shall I liken this generation? It is like little children sitting in the markets, who call to their companions, and say, We have played on pipes for you, and you have not danced; we have mourned, and you have not lamented. 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 glutton, and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified by her children.

[And he said], To what then shall I compare the men of this generation? and what are they like? They are like little children sitting in the market, and they call to each other, saying, We have played on pipes to you, and you have not danced; we have mourned to you, and you have not lamented. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, He has a demon.

Then Peter, full of the Holy Spirit, said to them, Rulers of the people and elders of Israel, if we are to-day examined concerning the good work done to the sick man, by what means he has been cured, be it known to you all, and to all the people of Israel, that in the name of Jesus Christ the Nazoraean, whom you crucified, whom God raised from the dead, by him has this man stood before you sound.
