But Jesus knew that these men were trying to trick him. So he said, “You hypocrites {\cf2\super [308]} ! Why are you trying to catch me saying something wrong?
Some Pharisees {\cf2\super [121]} came to Jesus. They tried to make Jesus say something wrong. They asked Jesus, “Is it right for a man to divorce his wife?”
“It will be bad for you, you teachers of the law. You have taken away the key to learning about God. You yourselves would not learn, and you stopped others from learning, too.”
The Jews were using this question to trick Jesus. They wanted to catch Jesus saying something wrong. Then they could have a charge against him. But Jesus kneeled down and started writing on the ground with his finger.
