Porque vino Juan, que no comía ni bebía, y dicen: 'Tiene demonio.'
La gente criticó a Juan el Bautista por su estilo de vida austero, acusándolo de estar poseído por un demonio.
📚 Contexto Histórico
In the first century, John the Baptist was a prophet who lived in the wilderness, practicing extreme austerity by abstaining from normal food and drink as a sign of his call for repentance and preparation for the Messiah. People of that era, influenced by Jewish cultural norms, criticized him harshly, accusing him of being demon-possessed because his unconventional lifestyle challenged their expectations. This reflects the broader skepticism toward prophetic figures in ancient Jewish society, as seen in the Gospels' accounts of resistance to God's messengers.
