<p>22:41&nbsp;<em>Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them a question, saying</em>- The Lord had clearly done well in answering the questions, and it&rsquo;s easy to misinterpret this as Him now going onto the thrust of an offensive, having successfully parried the attacks. But remember His opening comment, that they &lsquo;erred&rsquo; or were as sheep &lsquo;astray&rsquo;. He was trying to steer them to Him, to repentance and salvation, and not to merely win an intellectual battle for its own sake. All the same, He capitalized upon their continued presence to seek to correct another major misunderstanding. His desire to save them is breathtaking. The fact there were Pharisees who later converted to Christ is proof enough that His strategy worked, at least for some (Acts 15:5). And remember that Saul the Pharisee was living in Jerusalem at the time, and may well have been listening carefully.</p>
