I really should have connected this entry with the previous one, “New Testament 111,” because it concerns the same fundamental issue.
The Pharisees overlook the miracle of the divine healing in their zeal to find an accusation against Jesus.
It would be rather like criticizing the swimming technique of a lifeguard who had just pulled a drowning man from the ocean, or faulting the grammar of a note of comfort sent to a grieving family, or declining to eat nutritious food when one is hungry because the presentation is inartistic, or refusing a life preserver because you don’t like its color.
Silliness, and spectacular loss of focus on what really matters.
