Jerome, on Matt 11:16

“But whereunto shall I esteem this generation to be like? It is like to children sitting in the market place.”

“If fasting then pleases you, why were you not satisfied with John? If fulness, why not with the Son of man? Yet one of these ye said had a dæmon, the other ye called a gluttonous man, and drunkard.”
