ગુજરાતીલૂક ૭:૩૨
તેઓ તો છોકરાંનાં જેવા છે કે, જેઓ ચોકમાં બેસીને એકબીજાને કહે છે કે, અમે તમારી આગળ વાંસળી વગાડી, પણ તમે નાચ્યા નહિ; અમે વિલાપ કર્યો, પણ તમે રડ્યાં નહિ.
हिन्दीलूका ७:३२
वे उन बालकों के समान हैं जो बाजार में बैठे हुए एक दूसरे से पुकारकर कहते हैं, ‘हमने तुम्हारे लिये बाँसुरी बजाई, और तुम न नाचे, हमने विलाप किया, और तुम न रोए!’
