This didn't go over well with the Pharisee's.&#10;We will not go back, to that text as we dealt with their criticism, but&#10;we have a series of attacks on Jesus by the Pharisees here.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&lt;p&gt;Notice the inclusion of the disciples of John. The Pharisees knew John&#10;to be strict in nature, and brought the disciples they could find to&#10;support them. Then used them to compare them to Christ's disciples. The&#10;devil will use whatever means he can employ to cause great division&#10;among the disciples of Christ. We must be wary of his devices.&lt;/p&gt;</description></item></channel></rss>
