(Matthew 12:1-12, 19:3-9, 21:23-27, 22:15-46; Mark 11:27-12:40;
Luke 11:53-54, 20:1-47)
They put an awful lot on this Jesus man
With their stupid arguments and rants
The Lord had to put up with their morality
And despite that used to speak with local Pharisees
They said, "These things that You do are OK
"But is it kosher on the Sabbath Day?"
Dumb question
What if your lamb should slip down a hole
Why not go get him?
We'd all do that, you know
And all the Sadducees would lie in wait
They would be rowdy, but He'd always set them straight
They would all ask Him for dissertations
About the most unlikely made-up situations
He'd end up showing all their ways were rather weak
Our Lord was subtle but He stepped on their feet
Dumb questions
About that widow surviving seven men
And when they asked dumb questions
Christ's wit demolished them
Christ's answers showed incredible insight
But their minds were always filled up with hate
It always ended up as a big blow
When Christ's wisdom proved them second-rate
How could they win, though?
I could see them in the moonlight
Troops in their midst, waiting for Christ, by the garden gate
The day they brought Christ to Pilate
The experts stood outside
The day they brought Christ to Pilate
All of them thought He'd die - just die
LEAD
Now He rose up and they aren't in the land
But there's some chaps out there who still don't understand
Life isn't merely intellectual debates
And God has shown us there is no time to waste
We know they've said a lot of things we can ignore
But if they ask us a hundred fifty more
Dumb questions -- let us answer them with help from God
Don't be afraid of dumb questions -- He don't need astronauts
Dumb questions -- just like the Lord, we oughta set 'em straight
Don't be afraid of dumb questions -- or the things that you should say
Luke 11:53-54
When Jesus went outside, the Pharisees and the teachers of the law began to
oppose him fiercely and to besiege him with questions, waiting to catch him in
something he might say.
