December 12th : Gospel
They heed neither John nor the Son of Man
A reading from the Holy Gospel according to St.Matthew 11:16-19
At that time: Jesus said to the crowds: “To what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the market places and calling to their playmates, “‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’ For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, ‘He has a demon.’ The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say, ‘Look at him! A glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is justified by her deeds.”
The Gospel of the Lord.
