17 and saying:
‘We played the flute for you,
And you did not1 dance;
We mourned to you,
And you did not lament.’

Woe to the Impenitent Cities

20 aThen He began to rebuke the cities in which most of His mighty works had been done, because they did not repent:  
21 “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the mighty works which were done in you had been done in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago ain sackcloth and ashes.

Matthew 11:19

Matthew 11:19 The Son of man came eating. Like other men. He was at the wedding feast of Cana (John 2:2); at Matthew's feast, (Matthew 9:10), etc. A winebibber. There was nothing singular about his social habits. Like all the people, he drank the light, harmless wine of Palestine, either free from, or with a very slight percentage of, alcohol. Our modern wines are very different. A friend of tax collectors and sinners. See notes on Matthew 9:12. Wisdom is justified of her children. Those who are wise will approve both the course of John and his Lord.
