'Experts' in the Bible

The king consulted the wise men who understood the times, for it was his normal procedure to confer with experts in law and justice.

The priests quit asking, “Where is the Lord?”The experts in the law no longer knew Me,and the rulers rebelled against Me.The prophets prophesied by Baaland followed useless idols.

But since the Pharisees and experts in the law had not been baptized by him, they rejected the plan of God for themselves.)

One of the experts in the law answered Him, “Teacher, when You say these things You insult us too.”

Then He said: “Woe also to you experts in the law! You load people with burdens that are hard to carry, yet you yourselves don’t touch these burdens with one of your fingers.

“Woe to you experts in the law! You have taken away the key of knowledge! You didn’t go in yourselves, and you hindered those who were going in.”

In response, Jesus asked the law experts and the Pharisees, “Is it lawful to heal on the Sabbath or not?”

For it is written:I will destroy the wisdom of the wise,and I will set aside the understanding of the experts.
