Trap

Luke 20 (the pharisees plot against Jesus)

Revered teacher
we will trap you in your words
by asking many questions
Because we seek to destroy you
to make you lose favor
in the eyes of the people.
But why?
You're some sort of threat to us and our ways
bringing new ideas
that we can't explain.
And you answer correctly
and show us our error
But we've found inside ourselves a holly terror
because we can all see
that you walk with God
more closely--yes, differently
than the best and the wisest of any of us.
