What is said to the multitudes about John, and the people of this generation

요한에 대하여 무리에게 말씀하시고 이 세대를 비유하심

Luke 7:24–35: when John’s messengers have departed, Jesus begins to tell the multitudes about John: what did they go out into the wilderness to see? A reed shaken by the wind? A man clothed in soft clothing? Those who are gorgeously dressed and live delicately are in kings’ courts. A prophet? Yes, and much more than a prophet. This is he of whom it is written, “Behold, I send my messenger before your face, who will prepare your way before you.” Among those who are born of women there is not a greater prophet than John the Baptizer; yet he who is least in God’s Kingdom is greater than he. When all the people and the tax collectors hear this, they declare God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism; but the Pharisees and the lawyers reject the counsel of God, not having been baptized by John themselves. “To what then should I compare the people of this generation? They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’ For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Wisdom is justified by all her children.”
