Understand the Passage
- What biblical precedents did Jesus cite to justify his behavior and the behavior of his disciples? Why were they important?
- What criteria did Jesus give to determine those who supported him and those who opposed him?
- How does Jesus respond to the Pharisees request for a sign?
- Jesus continues to point out the hypocrisy of the Pharisees in this passage - if you are honest with yourself, where do you see the greatest hypocrisy in your life?
- What are some man-made symbols or traditions (like the Pharisees view on the Law, the Temple or the Sabbath) that we value more than people? Why?
- How should v22-37 make us think twice about how we view and speak about others?
- What can you begin doing today so that your life produces good fruit?
