then the Pharisees came and propos'd to him this insnaring question, is it lawful for a man to repudiate his wife?

Jesus replied to them, if you will answer one question, that I shall propose to you, then I will tell you by what authority I act thus.

One of the Scribes, that had heard their dispute, observing the propriety of his answers, propos'd this question to him, which is the principal commandment of all?

For many false Messiahs and false prophets shall arise, and shall propose signs and wonders to deceive, if it were possible, even the elect.
