Luke 2:52

2:52 And Jesus increased ¹  in wisdom and in stature, and in favor with God and with people.

Luke 7:35

7:35 But wisdom is vindicated ²  by all her children.” ³ 

¹ tn Or “kept increasing.” The imperfect tense suggests something of a progressive force to the verb.

² tn Or “shown to be right.” This is the same verb translated “acknowledged… justice” in v. 29, with a similar sense – including the notion of response. Wisdom’s children are those who respond to God through John and Jesus.

³ tn Or “by all those who follow her” (cf. CEV, NLT). Note that the parallel in Matt 11:19 reads “by her deeds.”
