They had made up another charge against Him,
"Behold a man gluttonous, and a winebibber,
a friend of publicans and sinners."
Matthew 11:19
Jesus did go to the banquets that He had been
invited to just like the Pharisee had gone to the
ones they were invited. It had given Jesus many
a chance to reach and teach those who would be
apt to hear and respond.
These charges were foolish and soon forgotten.
