Matthew 11:18-20
Disciples’ Literal New Testament
18 For John came neither eating nor drinking[a], and they say ‘He has a demon’. 19 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and they say ‘Behold— a man who is a glutton and drunkard[b], a friend of tax-collectors and sinners’. And wisdom was vindicated[c] by her works[d]”.
Woe To You Cities Who Have Seen My Works And Not Repented
20 Then He began to reproach[e] the cities in which most-of [f] His miracles took place, because they did not repent.
