Bible Note: Hi Tim, Your queston is:"How could the Pharisees prevent God from doing anything He wanted to do?" Ps 8:5 "Yet You have made him a little lower than God..." Heb 2:9 "But we do see Him who was made for a little while lower than the angels, namely, Jesus.." Jesus willingly set aside His divine power and submitted to the humility of being man as well as God. The single objection you raised has been answered and substantiated by Scripture. May I presume that my answer to your question, has now convinced you that "Ye" must (given the context of the entire chapter)refer to the Pharisees. John P.S. Thanks for pointing out my mistake re v. 31 |
