St Luke 7:29-35 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

29. And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John's baptism.

30. But the Pharisees and the lawyers despised the counsel of God against themselves, being not baptized by him.

31. And the Lord said: Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

32. They are like to children sitting in the marketplace, and speaking one to another, and saying: We have piped to you, and you have not danced: we have mourned, and you have not wept.

33. For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and you say: He hath a devil.

34. The Son of man is come eating and drinking: and you say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a drinker of wine, a friend of publicans and sinners.

35. And wisdom is justified by all her children.
