Matthew 11:19

But wisdom is (or, 'was') justified of her children] i.e. the superiority of the religion of the Baptist and of Jesus is proved by the lives of their disciples, which show more signs of genuine piety than those of the Pharisees. 'Wisdom' is here the religion of John and of Christ. 'Her children' are their disciples, who have been mentioned (Matthew 11:12) as crowding into the Kingdom of Heaven, while the Pharisees remained outside. (See Lk.) RY reads, 'Wisdom is justified by her works,' but the meaning is the same. 'Her works' are the holy lives of Christ's and John's disciples.
