We'll be reading about one of the several challenges that we find to Jesus in the gospels in a parable that should be familiar to us. I heard a story not that long ago. It was about an FBI operation that was set up to catch a telephone scammer. And in the story there was a woman, she was sweet and mild, an older woman, named Marge. And they recorded these conversations between her and the telephone scammer. And it all sounded innocent enough, and yet she was an FBI informant. And they used those conversations and those recordings to catch these guys from what they were doing. And they turned the tables. They turned the tables on the conmen. And the reporter said that it turns out that happens all of the time. The more confidence one has in their scam, the more likely they are to have the tables turned on them. And the reporter said there just seems to be something about the particular arrogance of always being on the knowing side of the con that makes for a really good mark, to have the tables turned.
