# Teacher, we know ... way of God
The spies were trying to deceive Jesus. They did not believe these things about Jesus.
# we know
"we" refers only to the spies. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-exclusive]])
# are not influenced by anyone's position
Possible meanings are 1) "you tell the truth even if important people do not like it" or 2) "you do not favor one person over another" (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-activepassive]])
# but you teach the truth about the way of God
This is part of what the spies were saying that they knew about Jesus.
