Greetings John! Here is the text of Matt. 11:16-19 in the NIV: *********** ‘‘To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others: 17 ”‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ 18 For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Here is a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and ‘sinners.”’ But wisdom is proved right by her actions.” ******** Basically, Mt. 11:17 and Luke 7:32 are both simply saying that the people were not satisfied with anything. They were not happy with John when he did not eat or drink, and they were not happy with Jesus when He did eat and drink. I hope this helps! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |

Thank you! My thought was that it may be comparison between response to the Word and people not satisfied but I had trouble pin pointing supporting detail as you have and bounced instead Verses 16-17 from vs 18 (thought at first conversation was only among children/playmates but the words suddenly were re to John and Christ)...have another quick question. Do you know of a website that can explain some of the Gospels in light of the idioms that were readily understood at the time (ie: as today some will say: it is raining cats and dogs...other generations could wonder what that means.) Blessings, In Christ. |

Greetings John! I don't know of any sites off of the top of my head! You might try to google, "Biblical idioms" and see what you can find. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
