He was often on the move, teaching and performing miracles in various locations throughout Judea and Galilee. The context here follows a series of teachings and rebukes directed at the Pharisees and experts in the law. Jesus' itinerant ministry reflects the fulfillment of Old Testament prophecies about the Messiah bringing light to the nations (<a href="/isaiah/9.htm">Isaiah 9:1-2</a>).the scribes and Pharisees began to oppose Him bitterly The scribes and Pharisees were religious leaders who held significant influence over Jewish society. Their opposition to Jesus was rooted in His challenges to their authority and interpretations of the law. This hostility is a recurring theme in the Gospels, highlighting the growing tension between Jesus and the religious establishment. Their bitterness can be seen as a fulfillment of <a href="/psalms/2-2.htm">Psalm 2:2</a>, where the rulers take counsel against the Lord and His Anointed.and to ply Him with questions about many things The tactic of questioning was a common method used by the Pharisees and scribes to trap Jesus in His words and discredit Him. This reflects the cultural and historical context of rabbinic debate, where questioning was a tool for both learning and challenging. However, their questions were not genuine inquiries but attempts to find fault. This mirrors the testing of Jesus in the wilderness by Satan (<a href="/matthew/4.htm">Matthew 4:1-11</a>), where questions were used to tempt and challenge His authority and mission.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/j/jesus.htm">Jesus</a> Central figure in the New Testament, the Son of God, who is teaching and confronting the religious leaders of His time. 2. <a href="/topical/s/scribes.htm">Scribes</a> Jewish scholars and teachers of the Law, often associated with the Pharisees, who were responsible for interpreting and teaching the Scriptures. 3. <a href="/topical/p/pharisees.htm">Pharisees</a> A religious and political group in Judaism known for strict adherence to the Law and traditions.

The older authorities here, instead of these words, read, and when he was gone out from thence. Thus, after uttering the last "woe," Jesus appears abruptly to have risen and left the house of his Pharisee entertainers. A crowd of angry men, composed of scribes and lawyers and friends of the Pharisee party, appear to have followed the Galilaean Teacher, whose words just spoken had publicly shown the estimation in which he held the great schools of religious thought which then in great measure guided public Jewish opinion. From henceforth there could be only one end to the unequal combat.
