Matthew 11:16

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? - That is, the Jewish people - την γενεαν ταυτην , this race: and so the word γενεα is often to be understood in the evangelists.

In the markets - Or, places of concourse, αγοραις , from αγειρω , I gather together; not a market-place only, but any place of public resort: probably meaning here, places of public amusement.

Calling unto their fellows - Or, companions. Instead of εταιροις , companions, many of the best MSS. have ετεροις , others. The great similarity of the words might have easily produced this difference.

There are some to whom every thing is useful in leading them to God; others, to whom nothing is sufficient. Every thing is good to an upright mind, every thing bad to a vicious heart.
