31 Jesus asked, What will I say that the people of today are like? What are they like?

32 They are like children who sit in the market. They call to other children. They say, "We played music for you, but you did not dance. We cried, but you did not cry."

33 John the Baptizer came. He does not eat bread or drink wine. You say, "He has a bad spirit in him."

34 The Son of Man came. He eats and drinks. You say, "This man eats and drinks too much! He is a friend of tax collectors and bad people!"

35 A man is proved wise by what he has done.

36 One of the Pharisees asked Jesus to come and eat with him. So Jesus went into the Pharisees house and sat down to eat.

37 In that city was a bad woman. When she knew that Jesus was eating at the Pharisees house, she came and brought a bottle of oil. It was oil that smelled very sweet and cost much money.
