Jesus was also accused of deceiving the people (John 7:12, John 7:47). He is called a deceiver by the leaders of the people (Matthew 27:64). As with Pharaoh, it is the devil who wants to silence God’s Word, and thus destroy his work. God delivers his people from the bondage of sin. Whoever denies and opposes this is a co-worker (child) of the devil (John 8:44). The devil tries to divide God’s people, and often with success (see Exodus 5:20–21).
9 Que l'on charge de travail ces gens, qu'ils s'en occupent, et ils ne prendront plus garde à des paroles de mensonge.
