Luke 7:35

Wisdom

33 For John the Baptist came neither eating bread nor drinking wine, and you say, ‘He has a demon!’

34 The Son of Man came eating and drinking, and you say, ‘Look at this glutton and drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!’

But wisdom is vindicated by all her children.”

36 Then one of the Pharisees invited Jesus to eat with him, and He entered the Pharisee’s house and reclined at the table.

37 When a sinful woman from that town learned that Jesus was dining there, she brought an alabaster jar of perfume.
