Mar 12:14 | MHM | STEP | v. 14 : They pretended to ask Jesus a serious question about what is right. They praised him, calling him Master and saying he teaches the way of God in truth . They said he is fair and not afraid of anyone. If they really believed this, it was wrong for them to later accuse and kill him. If they did not believe it, they were lying and flattering him. Hypocrites will be judged by their own words, and their false praise will be used against them (Mark 12:14 ).
