Best Answer

The scribes and Pharisees responded by accusing Jesus of blasphemy, because he claimed to be God.

John 10 (KJV):

22 And it was at Jerusalem the feast of the dedication, and it was winter. 23 And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon's porch. 24 Then came the Jews round about him, and said to him, How long do you make us to doubt? If you be the Christ, tell us plainly. 25 Jesus answered them, I told you, and you believed not: the works that I do in my Father's name, they bear witness of me. 26 But you believe not, because you are not of my sheep, as I said to you. 27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me: 28 And I give to them eternal life; and they shall never perish, neither shall any man pluck them out of my hand. 29 My Father, which gave them me, is greater than all; and no man is able to pluck them out of my Father's hand. 30 I and my Father are one.

31 Then the Jews took up stones again to stone him. 32 Jesus answered them, Many good works have I showed you from my Father; for which of those works do you stone me? 33The Jews answered him, saying, For a good work we stone you not; but for blasphemy; and because that you, being a man, make yourself God. 34 Jesus answered them, Is it not written in your law, I said, You are gods? 35 If he called them gods, to whom the word of God came, and the scripture cannot be broken; 36 Say you of him, whom the Father has sanctified, and sent into the world, You blaspheme; because I said, I am the Son of God? 37 If I do not the works of my Father, believe me not. 38 But if I do, though you believe not me, believe the works: that you may know, and believe, that the Father is in me, and I in him. 39 Therefore they sought again to take him: but he escaped out of their hand, 40 And went away again beyond Jordan into the place where John at first baptized; and there he stayed.

No I don't think so. The parable was told as a rebuke to the scribes and Pharisees of Jesus' time. Jesus came to call the nation of Israel to repent but the scribes and Pharisees thought Jesus should be talking with them the "spiritual leaders" not the common people. The father in the parable represents God and shows His desire for Israel to repent and turn to Him.

What type of prejudice is the parable of the prodigal son?

When Jesus tells this parable some Pharisees and scribes are also listening: Luk 15:1 Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. Luk 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luk 15:3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: ......................... In the parable the father represents God, the youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the scribes and Pharisees. The oldest son is prejudiced towards the youngest son because the youngest son is treated well, given a lot of attention etc by the father. In the gospels we can see Jesus paid a lot of attention to the ordinary people the scribes and Pharisees of the day were jealous because they thought they were the spiritual men of Israel.

What is the moral lesson of the parable of the two sons?

If you mean the parable of the "prodigal son" in The Bible then: I think there is no moral lesson in the parable. Parables - in the Bible - are usually concerned with spiritual truths not morals. When Jesus tells this parable some Pharisees and scribes are also listening: Luke 15:1 Then all the tax collectors and the sinners drew near to Him to hear Him. Luke 15:2 And the Pharisees and scribes complained, saying, "This Man receives sinners and eats with them." Luke 15:3 So He spoke this parable to them, saying: ......................... In the parable the father represents God, the youngest son represents Israel and the oldest son represents the scribes and Pharisees. The oldest son is prejudiced towards the youngest son because the youngest son is treated well, given a lot of attention etc by the father. In the gospels we can see Jesus paid a lot of attention to the ordinary people the scribes and Pharisees of the day were jealous because they thought they were the spiritual men of Israel. They were put out that Jesus "received sinners" they thought Jesus should have been spending time with them - they were the 'spiritual' ones.


The Parable of the Prodigal Son describe the characteristics prodigal son?

AnswerThe parable of the prodigal son is all about gentiles [or non-israelites] and sinners being accepted by God the Father while the self-righteous Scribes and Pharisees were not. There are 3 people in the Parable: the younger prodigal son, his older brother, and their father. Their representation is as follows:- The father represents God the Father.The youngest son represents sinners, outcasts, and gentiles (people from outside the nation of Israel) who were all to be part of the Father's Kingdom.The oldest son represents the Scribes and the Pharisees. He served his father not out of love, but out of desire for reward: he saw himself in bondage to his father (God the Father). Jesus taught the 2 great Commandments: love God and love your neighbour, but the older son did not love God (the Father), and did not love his younger brother.The Scribes and Pharisees absolutely hated who and what the younger son represented. They would have known very well that the oldest son represented them.Luke 15:1-3, 11-->1 Then drew near unto him all the publicans and sinners for to hear him.2 And the Pharisees and scribes murmured, saying, This man receiveth sinners, and eateth with them.3 And he spake this parable unto them, saying,11 And he said, A certain man had two sons:After all, the Scribes and the Pharisees were the 'bad guys' in many other parables, such as in the parable about the murderous Vineyard tenants:-Mark 12:12 And they sought to lay hold on him, but feared the people: for they knew that he had spoken the parable against them: ...Luke 2019 And the chief priests and the scribes the same hour sought to lay hands on him; and they feared the people: for they perceived that he had spoken this parable against them.The Prodigal son represents the exact oppositecharacteristics of the Scribes and Pharisees as above.
