Luke 20:24

"But he perceived their craftiness, and said to them, “Why do you test me?"

Key Reflection

Jesus discerned the scribes' and Pharisees' intentions behind their questions, recognizing they sought to entrap him with a trick. By asking why they tested him, Jesus exposed their motives and redirected the conversation to reveal their true intentions rather than falling into their trap.
