Matthew 22:35

English Standard Version 2016

And one of them, a lawyer, asked him a question to test him.

See the chapter Copy

but the Pharisees and the lawyers rejected the purpose of God for themselves, not having been baptized by him.)

And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?”

Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter yourselves, and you hindered those who were entering.”

Do your best to speed Zenas the lawyer and Apollos on their way; see that they lack nothing.

But Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why put me to the test, you hypocrites?

And Pharisees came up and in order to test him asked, “Is it lawful for a man to divorce his wife?”

“Teacher, which is the great commandment in the Law?”

This they said to test him, that they might have some charge to bring against him. Jesus bent down and wrote with his finger on the ground.
