Matthew 11:19
Douay-Rheims
The Son of man came eating and drinking, and they say: Behold a man that is a glutton and a wine drinker, a friend of publicans and sinners. And wisdom is justified by her children.
Francis Patrick Kenrick
The wisdom of God determined that John, by his austerity, and Christ by a more ordinary manner of life, should concur to the same end : namely, to invite sinners to repentance. The truly wise acknowledged and embraced the divine economy, which left unbelievers without excuse.
