However, because they feared retribution from the people who believed Jesus was a prophet, they contemplated ways and means to find a “gotcha question” that would do one of two things; Get the masses to turn away from Jesus, thus, removing that obstacle from their goal of getting rid of Him, or cause an investigation by the Roman Government.Sermon preached Sunday, October 18, 2026 by Rev.
