Luke 7:31 in Context — Luke 7
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.
33 Car Jean-Baptiste est venu, ne mangeant pas de pain et ne buvant pas de vin, et vous dites: Il a un démon.
