Matthew 11:17 in Context — Matthew 11
15 El que tiene oídos para oir, oiga.
16 Mas ¿á quién compararé esta generación? Es semejante á los muchachos que se sientan en las plazas, y dan voces á sus compañeros,
17 Y dicen: Os tañimos flauta, y no bailasteis; os endechamos, y no lamentasteis.
18 Porque vino Juan, que ni comía ni bebía, y dicen: Demonio tiene.
19 Vino el Hijo del hombre, que come y bebe, y dicen: He aquí un hombre comilón, y bebedor de vino, amigo de publicanos y de pecadores. Mas la sabiduría es justificada por sus hijos.
