Luke 7:34

34 The Son of Man has come eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at him, ^{▼▼tn Grk “Behold a man.”} a glutton and a drunk, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ ^{▼▼sn Neither were the detractors happy with Jesus (the Son of Man), even though he represented the opposite of John’s asceticism and associated freely with people like tax collectors and sinners in celebratory settings where the banquet imagery suggested the coming kingdom of God. Either way, God’s messengers were subject to complaint.}
