Matthew 11:16-19

17 “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
18 For John came ^aneither eating ^bnor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came ^ceating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, ^da friend of ^etax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.” ^{▼▼Some manuscripts children (compare Luke 7:35)}
