Having heard many of the words of Jesus does not mean having accepted those words. The scribes and the Pharisees who appear at the end of Luke chapter 11 did not try to correct their wrongs even after hearing the rebuke of the Lord. “And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things” (Luke 11:53). When the Lord came out of that house, their questioning grew even fiercer. The record that they cross-examined Him about many things does not mean that they were learning diligently. Instead of acknowledging the wrongs that the Lord had exposed earlier, they went in the direction of assailing the Lord and questioning Him pointedly. While there are people who hear the same word and correct their own thinking, there are also people who try to defend their own thinking by attacking the One who spoke.
