THE
CHIEF PRIESTS AND THE SCRIBES
Now we come to the New Testament. The chief priests and the scribes knew the
Bible. When King Herod inquired where Christ was to be born, they gave him the answer
immediately (Matt. 2:4-6). Although there is nothing inherently wrong with Bible
knowledge, it is dangerous merely to hold the knowledge as did the chief priests and
scribes. Although they knew that Christ was to be born at Bethlehem, none of them went to
see for themselves. This proves that they were on the line of knowledge, not on the line
of life. The wise men from the east, who had no knowledge of the Bible, were on the line
of life. Following the heavenly star, they came to the place where Christ was and
worshipped Him. Undoubtedly, the wise men from a heathen land had life, while the chief
priests and the scribes had death. Although the chief priests and scribes had the
knowledge of the Bible, the result of their knowledge was death. Knowledge can not give
life.
