The Scribes Confounded

The scribes were experts in the law and taught it to the people. They were respected for their knowledge, but most of them were against Jesus and His message. In these verses, we see how some scribes responded to Jesus’ teaching, how they were challenged by His questions, and how Jesus warned His disciples about their bad example.

v. 39: Some scribes praised Jesus for His wise answer to the Sadducees about the resurrection. They said, “Master, you have spoken well” (Luke 20:39 ^a). Even though they were usually His enemies, they could not deny the truth when Jesus defended the core beliefs of their faith. Sadly, many people today do not even show this much honesty.
