Matthew 11:16-18

Names of God Bible

¹⁶“How can I describe the people who are living now? They are like children who sit in the marketplaces and shout to other children,

¹⁷‘We played music for you,
    but you didn’t dance.
    We sang a funeral song,
    but you didn’t show any sadness.’

¹⁸“John came neither eating nor drinking, and people say, ‘There’s a demon in him!’

Matthew 11:16-18

New International Version

¹⁷“‘We played the pipe for you,
and you did not dance;
we sang a dirge,
and you did not mourn.’

¹⁸For John came neither eating^(A) nor drinking,^(B) and they say, ‘He has a demon.’
