Compare all
32 They are like children sitting in the marketplace and calling to one another, saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not weep.’
33 For aJohn the Baptist came bneither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’  
34 The Son of Man has come aeating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a1 winebibber, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’  
35 aBut wisdom is justified by all her children.”  

A Sinful Woman Forgiven

36 aThen one of the Pharisees asked Him to eat with him. And He went to the Pharisee’s house, and sat down to eat.  
37 And behold, a woman in the city who was a sinner, when she knew that Jesus sat at the table in the Pharisee’s house, brought an alabaster flask of fragrant oil,
38 and stood at His feet behind Him weeping; and she began to wash His feet with her tears, and wiped them with the hair of her head; and she kissed His feet and anointed them with the fragrant oil.

What Does Luke 7:34 Mean?



Luke 7:33-34

Why would anyone call Him a winebibber if it were anything other than wine that He had been seen drinking? Jesus drank wine with His disciples at His last Passover service, promising that He would again join them in a glass of wine after their resurrection: "But I say to you, I will not drink of this fruit of the vine from now on until that day when I drink it new with you in My Father's kingdom" (Matthew 26:29).
