{John the Baptist is come} (el(886c)uthen). Second perfect
active indicative where  Mt 11:18  has (886c)then second aorist
active indicative. So as to verse  34 . Luke alone has "bread"
and "wine." Otherwise these verses like  Mt 11:18,19 , which see
for discussion of details. There are actually critics today who
say that Jesus was called the friend of sinners and even of
harlots because he loved them and their ways and so deserved the
slur cast upon him by his enemies. If men can say that today we
need not wonder that the Pharisees and lawyers said it then to
justify their own rejection of Jesus.
