Lawyers

3118.—J. A. H.—Lawyers. Luke 7:30.— The lawyers referred to in Luke 7:30 and elsewhere in the Gospels, were those who were well versed in the laws of the Jews. The meaning of the word is much the same as at the present time. Of those who were learned in the law many were scribes. They had copied the laws over and over again until they knew them well, consequently were counseled with over matters pertaining to the law. Their work probably did not lie outside of the laws of Moses and the traditions of the Jews.
