# Connecting Statement:

|
Jesus continues to respond to the Pharisees.
|

|
|
# Have you not read in the law that ... but are guiltless?
|
|
|
|
Jesus uses a question to respond to the criticism of the Pharisees. Jesus is challenging them to think about the meaning of what they have read in the scriptures. Alternate translation: "Surely you have read in the law of Moses that ... but are guiltless." or "You should know that the law teaches that ... but are guiltless." (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-rquestion]])
