Matthew 11:16
Douay-Rheims
But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.
John Chrysostom
You should not be surprised at His using trite instances, such as that respecting the children; for He spoke to the weakness of His hearers; as Ezekiel spoke many things adapted to the Jews, but unworthy of the greatness of God.
