Matthew

And the Lord said, Whereunto then shall I liken the men of this generation? and to what are they like?

But wisdom is justified of all her children.

They are like unto children sitting in the marketplace, and calling one to another, and saying, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced; we have mourned to you, and ye have not wept.

What thing shall I take to witness for thee? what thing shall I liken to thee, O daughter of Jerusalem? what shall I equal to thee, that I may comfort thee, O virgin daughter of Zion? for thy breach is great like the sea: who can heal thee?

Then said he, Unto what is the kingdom of God like? and whereunto shall I resemble it?
