Then went the Pharisees, and took counsel together how they might lay a snare to entrap him in his discourse.

and one of them, a teacher of the law, put a question to him, to make trial of him, and said,

Master, which is the great commandment in the law?

On these two commandments, the whole law and the prophets depend.

For they bind burdens grievous, and difficultly borne, and lay them on men's shoulders; but they will not move them with a finger of their own.

and entreated him importunately, saying, My little daughter is at the last gasp; wilt thou come, and lay thy hands upon her, that she may recover, and she shall live.

and they lay along row against row, a hundred deep, and fifty wide.

And, behold, a certain doctor of the law arose, to make trial of him, saying, Master, by doing what shall I inherit eternal life?

And he said unto him, What is written in the law? How readest thou?

But give what is within them for alms; and, lo! all will be pure unto you.

Then one of the doctors of the law addressing him, said, Master, thus speaking, thou reproachest us also.

And he said, Wo also to you, teachers of the law! for ye load men with burdens hardly bearable, and ye yourselves touch not the burdens with one of your fingers.

But it is easier for heaven and earth to pass away, than for one tittle of the law to fail.

And they will say to you, Lo here! and lo there! go not after them, nor follow them.

And watching him, they sent men they had suborned, who pretended that they were righteous persons, in order to lay hold of some word of his, that they might deliver him to the power and authority of the governor.

And they were unable to lay hold of a single expression of his before the people: and marvelling at his answer, they were silenced.

nor Herod neither: for I referred you to him; and, lo, nothing is done to this man, as if he deserved death.

And lo! a man named Joseph, being a member of the council, a good man, and a just;
