    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,737 views

    Jesus’ opponents try to trip him up, but his answers back reveal much about the human character and how many of us "play" church.

    In a way this chapter is a direct attack against Jesus’ authority as the King and Messiah He has just claimed to be. They were not engaging in a verbal dialogue to discern the truth, they were engaged in verbal warfare in a public relations game to discredit Jesus and eventually kill him. Verses ...read more
