If any of you thinks he is wise in this age, he should become a fool, so that he may become wise. / For the wisdom of this world is foolishness in God’s sight. As it is written: “He catches the wise in their craftiness.” / And again, “The Lord knows that the thoughts of the wise are futile.” Isaiah 29:14 Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder.

The Pharisees' question reflects their disbelief and disdain for those who were beginning to believe in Jesus. This phrase highlights the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders of the time. The Pharisees were the religious elite, known for their strict adherence to the Law and traditions. They viewed Jesus as a threat to their authority and influence. The use of the word "deceived" suggests that they believed Jesus was misleading the people, a common accusation against prophets who challenged the status quo. This echoes the skepticism seen in other parts of the Gospels, where religious leaders question Jesus' authority and teachings (e.g., Matthew 12:24, Mark 3:22). replied the Pharisees.

Teaching Points Spiritual DiscernmentThe Pharisees' question reveals their spiritual blindness and inability to discern the truth of Jesus' teachings. Believers are encouraged to seek wisdom and understanding through the Holy Spirit. Authority and Tradition The Pharisees' reliance on tradition and authority can lead to a closed heart. Christians should balance respect for tradition with openness to God's new revelations. Courage to Stand for Truth The temple guards showed courage by not arresting Jesus, despite orders. Believers are called to stand firm in their faith, even when it contradicts societal or religious pressures. The Danger of Pride The Pharisees' pride prevented them from accepting Jesus. Humility is essential for spiritual growth and recognizing God's work in our lives. The Role of Doubt and Questioning Questioning can lead to deeper faith if approached with a sincere heart. Believers should not fear doubt but use it as a tool for growth and understanding.(47) Are ye also deceived?--The emphasis is upon the ye. "Ye whose duty it is simply to obey, who were sent to bring Him captive before us--do ye also yield to His power?" It is the Pharisees who ask this, and their spirit is shown in the matter of their question. They make no inquiry as to what He had said, though it must have struck them as a phenomenon demanding explanation that their own officials had been convinced by His teaching. It is at once assumed that they, too, had been deceived. It is this sect of the Pharisees who speak of Him as "that deceiver" (Matthew 27:63).Verse 47. - The Pharisees therefore answered them. Evidently the Pharisees were the leading spirits in this assault upon Jesus. The guardians of the orthodoxy of Israel, in the haughty pride of their order, are piqued and angry. Have ye also - the chosen servants of the august council of the nation - been led astray? In Matthew 27:63 these Pharisees speak of the Divine Lord as "this deceiver (ἐκεῖνος ὁ πλάνος)."
