35Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”
Luke 7:35 in other versions
Context of Luke 7:35
33“For John the Immerser has come not eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon.’ 34The Son of Man has come eating and drinking. and you say, ‘Look, a glutton and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’ Yet wisdom is vindicated by all her children.” 36Now one of the Pharisees was asking Yeshua if He would eat with him. Upon entering the Pharisee’s home, He reclined at the table. 37And behold, a woman in the town who was a sinner, when she discovered that Yeshua was reclining at the Pharisee’s home, brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
