Today's Gospel reading from Matthew 11 shows that people at the time formed wrong opinions about both John the Baptist and Jesus. John came neither eating nor drinking and they said that he's possessed by a demon. Jesus came eating and drinking and they said that he's a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners. It shows how people had preconceived notions and formed subjective opinions without knowing all the facts. This is still true and common today. To me, it is a form of judging against which Jesus advised.
