Jesus said to the crowd:

31 “To what then will I liken the people of this generation? What are they like? 32 They are like children who sit in the marketplace, and call to one another, saying, ‘We piped to you, and you didn’t dance. We mourned, and you didn’t weep.’ 33 For John the Baptizer came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Behold, a gluttonous man, and a drunkard; a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ 35 Wisdom is justified by all her children.”

Luke 7:31-35 - World English Bible

In Luke 7, Jesus critiqued the Pharisees and scribes, for they did not seek repentance in John's baptism. Their generation wouldn't respond to God's call, neither “dancing” to the Lord's “tune” nor mourning at the injustice of sin. Instead, they stood on the sidelines to play the critic, judging John for his spiritual austerity and Jesus for his lack of discipline, even enjoying the company of sinners. In their eyes, neither rated, for John and Jesus were too extreme. Jesus retorted with a challenge; judge us by results, not by methods. Both the Lord and the Baptist led people back to God. The Pharisees and scribes prided themselves on leading by example, but what sort of example did they give? What were their results?
