For My yoke is easy. The commands I teach are not grievous." It was the one true Master offering deliverance from an oppressive spiritual tyranny. But we may not forget that, while in one aspect tyrants over their disciples, the scribes were them- selves slaves of the system they represented and helped to perpetuata They were to be pitied as well as con- demned. Masters and scholars were both in the same hapless predicament. Jesus recognised this when, not without a touch of compassion. He call...ed the teachers of the law " blind leaders of the blind." * Yet it is notice- able that in all His allusions to the " blind guides," ^ a tone of severity predominates ; not without reason. The disciples of the scribes were merely victims, sinned against rather than sinning, but the masters were will- ingly the slaves of a system which gave them despotic power over the consciences of others. ^ Matt xxiiL 4 ; the words within brackets are a doubtful reading. The idea expressed is implied in the epithet "heavy." » Matt, xi 30.
