    Matt.9: 12-13 "They hated me without cause"

    "But when Jesus heard that, he said unto them, They that be whole need not a physician, but they that are sick./ But go ye and learn what that meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance."

    Here Jesus is not addressing the thoughts of his interlocutors but responding to them. The word of God had already answerd their spoken word, so Jesus cites the relevant portion. The word had sized them up even before they were born. " For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings./But they like men have transgressed the covenant: there have they dealt treacherously against me."(Hosea.6:7-8). The scribes, Pharisees and also the Sadducees tempted Jesus on various occasions. (Matt.16:1)

    Why did the nation of Israel hate the Son of man without any cause? Satan sins from the beginning.. He is the Father of lies and when he beguiled Eve he set up a no man's land which ever since has served as a cloak. Beyond the complacency of the strict adherence to their traditions and Law of Moses they were serving the interests of Satan instead. In our time also we have great many who recoil from any approach other than their literalism. It is worth their while to keep harping on old Jerusalem that for their many sins have been condemned and "Behold, your house is left unto you desolate." (Notice 'behold' in it and it is determined. )"And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.(Is.25 :7). Now we can place the context of the Sermon on the mount. He presented the doctrine of His Father as his Will which he shall fulfill it at the appointed time. The Gospel also presents Judgment of the nation in Ch.24.

    Complacency of Israel was like little foxes. "Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes."(S.of S-2:15)
