text:  You see the mindset of these religious people. Watching for the opportunity, describing the scribes and the Pharisees, the leaders, the religious leaders, sent spies pretending to be honest men. They tried to get Jesus to say something that could be reported to the Roman governor so he would arrest Jesus. So they're always conniving behind the scenes, somehow trying to trap Jesus in some words or actions that would get him into trouble. Matthew 23, 1 through 5.
