This may seem a complicated passage, but it has a straightforward message. Do not follow somebody who does not know where they are going. Jesus accused the Pharisees, who were zealous religious leaders, of being 'blind guides'. He also called them 'blind fools' because they did not understand how to handle truth themselves … and so could not teach truth to others. The issue in question was about swearing. Because so many people tell lies, swearing has become a way of reassuring people that what is said is true.

“I start my day with Word@Work, and take it with me throughout the day in my thoughts. A lot of the Scripture I am familiar with, but the commentary usually gives me a new perspective. It's sometimes feels odd on weekends when I have to start my day without Word@Work.”
