+ Holy Gospel according to St. Matthew 11: 16 – 19 Jesus said:“What comparison can I find for this generation? It is like children shouting to each other as they sit in the marketplace: We played the pipes for you, and you wouldn't dance; we sang dirges, and you wouldn't be mourners.“For John came, neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He is possessed.’The Son of man came, eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners.’Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”The Gospel of the Lord
