|Capitalized on account of Who He is, not on account of what the scribes thought He was.
A ''scribe'' was one having the specific job of copying out the Jewish Scriptures (the [[Old Testament]]) from old copies that were falling apart. Scribes also commonly taught the Scriptures in the synagogues. The problem was that they taught from rote memory, and the clear implication, here and elsewhere, is that these scribes memorized the text as if for recital but never really read it for understanding, much less personal lifestyle application.

|Modern form of publican?
|The English word ''publican'' is not from the Greek. It is the [[Latin]] word ''publicanus'', meaning a private citizen commissioned to collect taxes for the Roman government and empowered to collect more than the tax from the people and keep the balance. This policy was controversial even in Rome itself, and especially in Judea Province, where tax collectors were regarded as the lowest form of scum in Jewish society.

|"Cannot" implies impossibility, rather than lack of necessity. They have no cause to fast so long as the Son is with them.

|The Greek word '''οινος''', translated "wine," actually meant "fruit of the vine" and was not fermented, as it commonly is today. Repeated references in the Book of Proverbs tell their readers specifically to avoid fermented grape juice. Furthermore, at least five methods of preservation were known to the ancients, methods that avoided fermentation, long before [[Louis Pasteur]] would invent his pressure-cooking method.
