pwned!

Matthew 22:34-40
Hearing that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, the Pharisees got together. One of them, an expert in the law, tested him with this question: "Teacher, which is the greatest commandment in the Law?"

Jesus replied: " 'Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.' This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: 'Love your neighbor as yourself.' All the Law and the Prophets hang on these two commandments."

So the Pharisees tried to trick Jesus with a question that they thought they could easily challenge and in doing so, embarrass him and ruining his reputation as a teacher. The thing is he had some 300+ laws to choose from, and so if he said one, then they could just respond as "Well, what about this law..." and his credibility would be questioned, therefore loosing some followers. But Jesus had the right answer. Completely backfired on them. ^_^
