Luke 7:33-34 (New Living Translation)
33 For John the Baptist didn’t spend his time eating bread or drinking wine, and you say, ‘He’s possessed by a demon.’ 34 The Son of Man, on the other hand, feasts and drinks, and you say, ‘He’s a glutton and a drunkard, and a friend of tax collectors and other sinners!’
Some critics of Jesus are busy criticizing Him again. This time they compare Jesus to John the Baptist—a fellow they didn’t like that much, but now they find someone they dislike more.
Notice the charges against Jesus at the end of verse 34:
- glutton
- drunkard
- friend of tax collectors
- friend of other sinners
How did #1 get in that list? An over eater in there with those other things? Must be a mistake. Right? Perhaps not.
