Luke 7:30 in Context — Luke 7

28 Je vous le dis, parmi ceux qui sont nés de femmes, il n’y en a point de plus grand que Jean. Cependant, le plus petit dans le royaume de Dieu est plus grand que lui.

29 Et tout le peuple qui l’a entendu et même les publicains ont justifié Dieu, en se faisant baptiser du baptême de Jean;

30 mais les pharisiens et les docteurs de la loi, en ne se faisant pas baptiser par lui, ont rendu nul à leur égard le dessein de Dieu.

31 A qui donc comparerai-je les hommes de cette génération, et à qui ressemblent-ils?

32 Ils ressemblent aux enfants assis dans la place publique, et qui, se parlant les uns aux autres, disent: Nous vous avons joué de la flûte, et vous n’avez pas dansé; nous vous avons chanté des complaintes, et vous n’avez pas pleuré.
