# Connecting Statement:

This is the beginning of the next event in the story. Some time has passed since Jesus was questioned in the temple by the chief priests. The spies are now questioning Jesus.

# They asked him

"The spies asked Jesus"

# 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/jit/figs-exclusive]])

# are not partial to anyone

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/jit/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.
