For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine; and ye say, He hath a devil.
John's manner of life with regard to food and drink was austere and abstemious, coming neither eating bread nor drinking wine. The Pharisees rejected him on that account, claiming that he was possessed by a devil. By that charge they rejected God's counsel for themselves, even though the Spirit of God had convicted them through John's preaching.
