Matthew 11:19

The Son of Man came,
and he eats and drinks [it is a wedding atmosphere, see verse 17], and then they say:
'Look, what a glutton and drunkard (fond of wine), a friend of tax collectors [known for using questionable methods and grabbing for themselves]
and sinners (those who actively live in sin).'
Nevertheless, the works of wisdom [children] have been proven righteous."
[Jesus did eat and associate with people who did not have a good reputation, see Matt. 9:10–13, but he was neither a glutton nor a drunkard. These two words are often used in pairs in the Bible, see Deut 21:20; Prov 23:21. Many later manuscripts have children instead of deeds, but this is most likely a harmonization with Luke 7:35. If you look at Aramaic versions, you will see that the word used there is deeds, but it is similar to a word for children.]
