Charis, scribes were members of a learned class who studied the scriptures and served as copyists, editors, and teachers. At first the priests were responsible for the scientific study and the professional communication of this legal code. This position of strength was later passed to the scribes. The position given to them allowed them to enforce their rules and practices with binding authorty. As interpreters of the scriptures they provided the rules for human conduct out of their study. They often diveloped and attitude based on their professional privledges and often resulted in pride. Jesus warned against these excesses and boldly attacked the religious hypocrisy of the scribes in the woes. (Nelsons Bible Dictionary). Their modern counterpart would be those who teach the gospel how they interpret it and with pride. |
