Drinker of wine.For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a devil. The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say, Behold a man gluttonous, and a WINEBIBBER, a friend of publicans and sinners. But wisdom is justified of her children. ( Matthew 11:18-19 )
WINEBIBBER
win'-bib-er:
In Proverbs 23:20, cobhe yauin; in Matthew 11:19 = Luke 7:34, oinopotes, of habitual wine-drinkers. The accusation was falsely brought against Jesus of being "a gluttonous man and a winebibber," because, unlike John, He ate and drank with others.
