Key Passages
One day an expert in the law stood up to test Him. “Teacher,” he asked, “what must I do to inherit eternal life?”
One of the experts in the law told Him, “Teacher, when You say these things, You insult us as well.”
“Woe to you as well, experts in the law!” He replied. “You weigh men down with heavy burdens, but you yourselves will not lift a finger to lighten their load.
Woe to you experts in the law! For you have taken away the key to knowledge. You yourselves have not entered, and you have hindered those who were entering.”
So Jesus asked the experts in the law and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”
