And Jesus responded to the lawyers and Pharisees, saying, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath, or not?” But they remained silent. Then he took him and healed him and sent him away. And he said to them, “Which of you, having a son or an ox that has fallen into a well on a Sabbath day, will not immediately pull him out?” And they could not reply to these things. Luke 14:3-6 (ESV) Trying to “catch” someone or trick someone into saying something that can be misconstrued is not trying to find the truth. Plotting to find, use, and distort what is said is not trying to find the truth. Controlling information, manipulating information, and adding or subtracting key bits of information is not trying to find the truth. The lawyers and Pharisees here were not seeking truth. They were seeking to destroy Jesus’s credibility. This effort in and of itself disqualifies them for any credible leadership position. |
