# Connecting Statement:
Jesus continues speaking to the people about John the Baptist.
# To what, then, can I compare the people of this generation? What are they like?
Jesus uses these questions to introduce a comparison. They can be written as a statement. Alternate translation: "This is what I compare this generation to. This is what they are like." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-rquestion]])
# I compare ... What are they like
These are two ways of saying that this is a comparison. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-parallelism]])
# the people of this generation
The people living when Jesus spoke.
