And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?	They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.	For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
