Charles Spurgeon Commentary Luke 7:34-35

"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! And wisdom is justified of all her children." — Luke 7:34-35 (ASV)

And ye say, Behold a gluttonous man, and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners! But wisdom is justified of all her children.

Though the world despises all wisdom's children, whatever path they take, and is not pleased with their conduct, whatever it may be, yet, ultimately, when God's wisdom is fully revealed, it will become clear that the roughness of John and the gentleness and lovingkindness of Jesus were both right in their proper place.

If fish are not caught in the gospel fishery, it may sometimes be the fisherman's fault, but more often, it is the fault of the fish themselves. Here we have two very different kinds of fishermen, yet neither of them attracts all, though each of them draws some.
