| Word | American Tract Society - Definition |
| LAWYERS | Men who devoted themselves to the study and explanation of the Jewish law, particularly of the traditionary or oral law. They belonged mostly to the sect of the Pharisees, and fell under the reproof of our Savior for having taken from the people the key of knowledge. They were as the blind leading the blind, Mt 28:20 Lu 10:25 11:52. See SCRIBES. |
