parable · parable of Jesus: “[The men of this generation] are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.” (Lk 7:32)
We piped and you did not dance, we mourned and you did not weep — children calling to one another, and the generation that would take neither John's fasting nor Christ's feasting.
