Tested him by asking

“When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them, a scholar of the law, tested him by asking, ‘Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?’” (MT 22: 34-36) 

The Pharisees were not interested in finding an answer, they “tested him by asking.”  When we pray, when we talk, and when we are in relationships with others, we should be honest, never testing. “Guide me in your truth.” 

“Teach me your paths, my God, guide me in your truth.” (Gospel Acclamation)
