# Connecting Statement:

Jesus continues speaking to the people about John the Baptist.

|
# To what, then, can I compare ... they like?
|
|
|
|
Jesus uses these questions to introduce a comparison. They can be written as a statement. AT: "This is what I compare this generation to, and what they are like." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
|
|
|
|
# I compare ... What are they like
|
|
|
|
These are two ways of saying that this is a comparison. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-parallelism]])
|

|
|
# the people of this generation
|
|
|
|
The people living when Jesus spoke.
|
|
|
|
# They are like
|
|
|
|
These words are the beginning of Jesus' comparison. Jesus is saying that the people are like children who are never satisfied with the way other children act. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile]])
