Matthew 11:18 Douay-Rheims

For John came neither eating nor drinking; and they say: He hath a devil.

John Chrysostom

A.D. 347–407 Patristic

We have played music to you, and ye have not danced; that is, I have shewed you an unrestricted life, and ye are not convinced; We have mourned unto you, and ye have not lamented; that is, John lived a hard life, and ye heeded him not. Yet does not he speak one thing, and I another, but both speak the same thing, because both have one and the same object. For John came neither eating nor drinking, and they say, He hath a dæmon. The Son of man came &c.
