    Contributed by John Williams Iii on Nov 18, 2022
     | 2,208 views

    Consider what provoked Jesus to teach this parable.  Jesus had healed a man who was unable to speak. His opponents in the crowd accused Jesus of working for the devil (Luke 11:15) whose works Jesus came to destroy (I John 3:8).

     | 11,771 views
