Luke 7:33

Verse 33 of 50. The 7th of 24 chapters in Luke, in The Gospels.

29When all the people and the tax collectors heard this, they declared God to be just, having been baptized with John’s baptism.

30But the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the counsel of God, not being baptized by him themselves.

31“To what then should I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?

32They are like children who sit in the marketplace and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’

33For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’

34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

35Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

36One of the Pharisees invited him to eat with him. He entered into the Pharisee’s house and sat at the table.

37Behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that he was reclining in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster jar of ointment.
