Now after Jesus entered the temple courts, the chief priests and elders of the people came up to him as he was teaching and said, "By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?"

Then the Pharisees went out and planned together to entrap him with his own words.

Then someone from the crowd said to him, "Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me."

Someone asked him, "Lord, will only a few be saved?" So he said to them,

When they persisted in asking him, he stood up straight and replied, "Whoever among you is guiltless may be the first to throw a stone at her."

Then they said to him, "What did he do to you? How did he cause you to see?"

Such testimony is true. For this reason rebuke them sharply that they may be healthy in the faith

Lest

Do you see a man wise in his own eyes? There is more hope for a fool than for him.

A rich person is wise in his own eyes, but a discerning poor person can evaluate him properly.

For I do not want you to be ignorant of this mystery, brothers and sisters, so that you may not be conceited: A partial hardening has happened to Israel until the full number of the Gentiles has come in.

Conceit

Those who think they are wise are as good as dead, those who think they possess understanding.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty but associate with the lowly. Do not be conceited.
