Context of Luke 7:34
32They are like unto children that sit in the marketplace, and call one to another; who say, We piped unto you, and ye did not dance; we wailed, and ye did not weep. 33For John the Baptist is come eating no bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a demon. The Son of man is come eating and drinking; and ye say, Behold, a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! 35And wisdom is justified of all her children. 36And one of the Pharisees desired him that he would eat with him. And he entered into the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to meat.
