Augustine of Hippo, on Luke 7:29

“And all the people hearing, and the publicans, justified God, being baptized with John’s baptism.”

“(ubi sup.) But his words, We have piped unto you, and ye have not danced, refer to the Lord Himself, who by using meats and drinks as others did, represented the joy of His kingdom. Hence it follows, The Son of man came eating and drinking, &c.”
