Matthew 11:17-19
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
17 say ‘We played the flute for you and you did not dance. We lamented[a] and you did not beat-your-breast[b]’. 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking[c], and they say ‘He has a demon’. 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say ‘Behold— a man who is a glutton and drunkard[d], a friend of tax-collectors and sinners’. And wisdom was vindicated[e] by her works[f]”.
