# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues to talk to the crowds about John the Baptist.
# To what should I compare this generation?
Jesus uses a question to introduce a comparison between the people of that day and what children might say in the marketplace. Alternate translation: "This is what this generation is like" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# this generation
"the people living now" or "these people" or "you people of this generation"
# marketplaces
large, open-air areas where people buy and sell items
