It absolutely was an untrue accusation. The fresh new Pharisees told you Jesus try a beneficial sabbath cracking blasphemer. Are they today proper? Or is the fresh new accusation baseless? In the event that Goodness did take in particularly it implicated your from why couldn’t it address him that have an accusation whenever God expected this, John 8:46 “ ? Incase I say happening, why do ye perhaps not trust in me?” When the God turned into liquid on alcoholic drink, did not this new pharisees simply offer that facing him and you may state you aren’t prime? Getting drinking alcoholic wines went illegal plus the prophets.They didn’t name an effective sin so they only produced more some thing right up.

The Jews also said Jesus was a Samaritan and had a devil. John 8:48 “Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we maybe not better that thou art an excellent Samaritan , and hast a devil ?” Was Jesus a Samaritan or Jew?

Finally was Jesus gluttonous? Luke 4:2 “Being forty days tempted of the devil. And in those days he did eat absolutely nothing : and when they were ended, he afterward hungered”. I believe the point is clear Jesus wasn’t a winebibber. Most likely what happened was one of the spies saw Jesus drink grape juice a few times and told the pharisees he drinks fermented wine all the time.

Then your rumour give

Acts 2:13 “Others mocking said, These men are full of new wines” . For context the disciples started preaching to more than three thousand people on the day of pentecost. This wasn’t an expected event for the people, imagine someone who starts preaching on the bus, aeroplane or in the street. Whilst it’s fine, it would seem odd to others. Some may mock at the preacher and say “he’s probably drunk”. Peter goes on to say Acts 2:15 “ For these are not drunken, as ye imagine , seeing it is but the third hour of the day”. Hence Peter makes it clear they haven’t been drinking. Similar to Jesus being called a winebibber it was just another false accusation.

In the new testament the greek word that translates to this new wine [gleukos] is used only once. It’s specific to a type of fermented wine cultivated from a greek ceremony.

it is our custom upon the sixth day to sacrifice to our good Genius and taste our the fresh wine [gleukos] , after the zephyr [wind] date me oturum aГ§ma sorunu has done blowing; for that wind makes wine ferment more than any other – Plutarch, Quaestiones Convivales book 3.7.1

We can infer thus that it was probably an effective hellenised Jew who said they were packed with “the brand new wines [gleukos]”

Deuteronomy “And thou shalt bestow that money for whatsoever thy soul lusteth after, for oxen, or for sheep, or for wine, or for strong drink , or for whatsoever thy soul desireth…”

The wine was to be poured out for an offering not consumed. Numbers 15:5 “And the fourth part of an hin of wine having a glass or two offering shalt thou prepare with the burnt offering or sacrifice, for example lamb”.

Numbers 28:7 “And the drink offering thereof shall be the fourth part of an hin for the one lamb: in the holy place shalt thou cause the solid wine getting stream unto the fresh Lord to own a drink offering . 8 And the other lamb shalt thou offer at even: as the meat offering of the morning, and because the take in providing thereof , thou shalt offer it, a sacrifice made by fire, of a sweet savour unto the Lord”.

Which of you convinceth myself regarding sin

Proverbs 31:6 “Give good drink unto him that is happy to perish , and wine unto those that be of heavy hearts” . Are you ready to perish? Do you have a heavy heart? The Bible says 1Th 5:16
