| Matthew 11:16
| But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like to children sitting in the market-place, who crying out to their companions,
| Is like to children, etc. This similtude signifies that there was nothing necessary for their salvation, which God had not abundantly provided for; but they had pertinaciously continued in their incredulity. To explain this, he uses a similitude taken from morose children, whom nothing can please; he appears to refer to some custom of that time with which we are little acquainted. (Menochius)
