Jesus warns against the teachers of law (Luke. 29: 46-47)
Answer Text: Jesus addressed his disciples and warned them to beware of the hypocrisy and exploitative nature of the teachers of the law. He knew his disciples could also be victims of weaknesses for they had argued earlier who among them was the greatest. He openly attacked the teachers of law for - The love to go on long robes so that they could be seen and respected.- Love to be greeted with respect in market places.- Seeking best seats in the synagogues and the places of honor at the feasts.- Making long prayers without meaning.- He also accused them of taking advantage and robbing the widows of their property. These direct attacks on the teachers’ of law provoked a conflict between them and Jesus.
