Then one of them, a lawyer, asked, tempting Him and saying,
But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why do you tempt Me, hypocrites?
Master, which is the great commandment in the Law?
And tempting Him, the Pharisees came to Him and asked Him, Is it lawful for a man to put away his wife?
Woe to you, lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and you have hindered those who were entering in.
And answering, Jesus spoke to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, Is it lawful to heal on the sabbath day?
But the Pharisees and lawyers rejected the counsel of God against themselves, not being baptized by him.
They said this, tempting Him so that they might have reason to accuse Him. But bending down, Jesus wrote on the ground with His finger, not appearing to hear.
Diligently set forward Zenas the lawyer, and Apollos, that nothing may be lacking to them.
