Matthew 11:15
13 For all the Prophets and the Law prophesied until John.
14 And if you are willing to accept it, he is the Elijah who was to come.
He who has ears, let him hear.
16 To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:
17 ‘We played the flute for you, and you did not dance; we sang a dirge, and you did not mourn.’
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
