This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
34. ἐσθίων καὶ πίνων. The title explains the reason of our Lord’s practice. He came as the Son of man, and therefore He came to shew that the common life of all men could be lived with perfect holiness, and that seclusion and asceticism were not necessary as universal conditions.

φάγος καὶ οἰνοπότης. ‘An eater, and a drinker of wine.’ φάγος does not occur in the LXX[162] or N.T.; οἰνοπότης only in Pro 23:20.

[162] LXX. Septuagint.

φίλος τελωνῶν καὶ ἁμαρτωλῶν. Thus His divinest mercy was turned into His worst reproach.
