Subject: OT/NT |
Bible Note: Greetings Flyman, Here I am getting into speculation which is virtually useless, but my 2 cents worth on this would be that He already knew what the Jews were expecting - a man, not God to be Messiah - and they had already or were on the brink of rejecting Him for that very reason. He was simply confirming their own belief - that "no one is good but God..." so He either IS their Messiah (and God) or He is not. Once again, there are others who might can give you a more scriptural basis, I cannot, I don't know of any scriptural reference for your question (which is a very good one, btw) - but "WHY" questions are hard to answer without book, chapter, and verse, which I just don't have. So, once again, this was purely speculation. Cheri |
