Israel’s wisdom tradition.
Jesus’ remark (“Yet wisdom is vindicated by her deeds/children”) draws on the personified Wisdom language and ideas found in Proverbs and Jewish wisdom literature, not primarily on law, covenant, messianic expectation, or history. He contrasts John’s asceticism and his own convivial ministry and invokes the wisdom motif to expose the generation’s inconsistent judgment.
