“我该用什么来比这世代呢？这正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

我可用什么比这世代呢？好像孩童坐在街市上招呼同伴，说：

“我该用什么来比这世代呢？这正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

“这个世代的人好像什么呢？他们好像一群在街上玩耍的儿童对别的孩子说，

“我要把这世代比作什么呢？它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心，呼叫别的小孩子，

“我要把这世代比做什么呢？它就好比孩子们坐在街市上呼叫别的孩子，

我可用甚麼比這世代呢？好像孩童坐在街市上招呼同伴，說：

「我該用甚麼來比這世代呢？這正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

「我該用甚麼來比這世代呢？這正像孩童坐在街市上向同伴呼喊：

「這個世代的人好像什麼呢？他們好像一群在街上玩耍的兒童對別的孩子說，

“我要把這世代比作甚麼呢？它好像一些小孩子坐在市中心，呼叫別的小孩子，

『至於這世代、我要用甚麼來比擬它呢？那就像小孩子坐在市場上呼叫別的小孩說：

「我要把這世代比做什麼呢？它就好比孩子們坐在街市上呼叫別的孩子，

斯世將何以喻之、譬童子坐於市、呼其侶、

斯世將何以比之、譬童子坐市井、呼其侶曰、

是世我何以譬之、譬諸童子坐於街市、呼其侶曰、

然今茲世代、吾將何以比之？譬諸童子坐於市井、而招其伴曰：

“ To what can I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling out to others:

“ What can I compare today’s people to? They are like children sitting in the markets and calling out to others. They say,

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their playmates,

“ To what can I compare this generation? It is like children playing a game in the public square. They complain to their friends,

“ To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to other children:

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call out to the other children,

“ But to what shall I liken this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces and calling to their companions,

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the marketplaces, who call unto their fellows

“ To what should I compare this generation? It’s like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to each other:

But whereunto shall I liken this generation? It is like unto children sitting in the markets, and calling unto their fellows,

“ To what should I compare this generation? They are like children sitting in the marketplaces who call out to one another,

“ But to what shall I compare this generation? It is like children sitting in the marketplaces, who call to their companions

主又说：“这样，我该用什么来比这世代的人呢？他们好像什么呢？这正像孩童坐在街市上，彼此喊叫：‘我们为你们吹笛，你们不跳舞；我们唱哀歌，你们不啼哭。’施洗的约翰来，不吃饼，不喝酒，你们说他是被鬼附的。人子来，也吃也喝，你们又说这人贪食好酒，是税吏和罪人的朋友。而智慧是由所有智慧的人来证实的。”

耶稣说：“神的国像什么？我拿什么来比拟呢？

我实在告诉你们，这一切的罪都要归到这世代了。”

耶路撒冷啊，我可用什么向你证明呢？我可用什么与你相比呢？少女锡安哪，我拿什么和你比较，好安慰你呢？因你的裂伤大如海；谁能医治你呢？

毒蛇的孽种啊，你们既是恶人，怎能说出好话来呢？因为心里所充满的，口里就说出来。

我实在告诉你们，这世代还没有过去，这一切都要发生。

耶稣又说：“我们可用什么来比拟神的国呢？可用什么比喻来说明呢？
