After taking a few weeks to read passages related to Easter, we pick up the study at chapter 9. There is still much controversy surrounding Jesus' teaching between the people who embrace his words and others, including the Pharisees, who oppose his teaching and believe Jesus is an imposter. The chapter concludes with Jesus’ teaching on the type of judgment he will pronounce. It is judgment grounded in discernment and knowledge of who believes and has received the light of the Gospel.
