This is how they interrogate for their truth, to garner support from those who would turn on Jesus.
But many would not turn from THE Truth but would hold to what they knew to be Truth.
The problem with truth these days is that, as it was then, many people seek a “truth” that fits their desires in life but don’t seek the real Truth.
For the Truth is not hidden but plain to see, but even Jesus knew they would be every seeing and never perceiving.
It was the same for these Pharisees, the question this morning is, can I stick to the Truth of scripture even though it could cost me everything.
Lets take a look at whats going on here.
