Bible Question (short): who are Pharasees and why the questions |
Question (full): If the Pharasees and Levites are priests then are they considered to be wise and knowledgable? Are they respected as we would respect holy people that are close to God? What is the situation sourounding these poeple who seem to give John such a hard time with questions. I would like to know what is the reason they ask John if He is Elijah, the Prophet, or Christ? Are they asking if He is one who's understanding and closeness to God is at the same hight, the same level of knowledge as theirs and if this is the case, then wouldn't a holy priest recognize this if they understand and know what Elijah and the prophets know? |
