However, the group that should have been prepared and ready to receive the Messiah did not receive the baptism. They refused the repentance and confession of sins that John demanded. The Pharisees and lawyers (law experts) rejected the messengers of Jesus. Luke is explaining
that in doing so they betrayed the will of God. They may have understood God's law, but in reality, they were ignoring God's will. These tragic words set the stage for the enmity the Pharisees and lawyers continued to feel toward Jesus. Their animosity eventually led to his
death. The act of overlooking God's will can be a slow, step-by-step process. They may not have never asked God to open their eyes, but they have not given up on their hardness and self-confidence. These Torah experts continued down the slopes of darkness until they became evil
enough to conspire to kill themselves. At the time, neither side knew whether their actions were right or wrong. The evaluation of their right and wrong is revealed through retrospect after time, that is, by the evaluation of Jesus. Jesus' evaluation of John informs that the
actions of those who were baptized by John were right, and the actions of those who were not were wrong. John's preaching and baptism, characterized by his faithfulness and sacrificial nature, are not final and sufficient testimony to the coming of the kingdom of God. Like
a man carrying the torch before the start of the Olympic Games, John's ministry itself is incomplete and in an obscure state. If John's ministry is independent of the coming ministry of Jesus, John's ministry becomes meaningless. For John's ministry to be complete and valid,
Jesus' ministry must exist. Verses 29-30 thus portray Jesus as the authoritative interpreter of John's ministry. The meaning and purpose of Israel are revealed and fulfilled in Jesus.

โlawyersโ; 'nomikos' for "lawyers" is used synonymously with 'scribe' (Grammatius) (5:21; 10:25
; 11:45,46,52,53; 14:3; Matthew 22: 35). This word appears only in Luke's Gospel, except in Matthew 22:35 ("Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, and saying,") ', rather than the word 'Nomicos'.
โrejected the counsel of God against
โrejected the counsel of God against
themselves,โ; The great ones of Church and State, those courtly statesmen who wished to give John some earthly prestige, threw upon John all the humiliation they could. Indeed, they heard John the Baptist, but "rejected the counsel of God" (v. 30). The Pharisees, who were famous
for their piety and prayers, and the lawyers, who were famous for their learning, especially the knowledge of the Scriptures, received the will of God for themselves in vain. They refused to receive the grace of God by rejecting John's baptism. The God who sent these messengers
had a kind intention to benefit them and thus provide for their salvation. If they had responded to God's intention, it would have been for their own sake, and it would have been for them forever. But they rejected God's intention and would not respond to it. Therefore, it was
against them and hastened their destruction. By rejecting the discipline that would fit them for the Messiah's kingdom, they perverted the advantage intended for them and lost even the favor of God. They have bolted their doors and cut themselves off from the kingdom of
the Messiah. They not only excluded themselves from the country but also hindered and blocked others. There are two conflicting reactions to Jesus' words. However, the paradox is that the so-called religious leaders who boasted that they were zealous for God resisted God as a
result by rejecting John the Baptist or Jesus, while those who seemed alienated from Jehovah's faith, such as tax collectors, were rather against God's will. The fact is that we are getting closer. Those like the lawyers in the text were devoted to the study of God's law, so
they knew even the detailed provisions of the law, but they did not realize the fundamental message hidden in it. Because their concern was not the will of God, but the provisions of the law itself. Luke-Acts is a confessed narrative of the realization of God's purpose. By using
the theme of God's purpose, Luke-Acts essentially connects the old and ongoing story of God with His people. Purposes other than God's purpose indeed appear in the narrative (23:51), and the text emphasizes the possibility of resisting, even rejecting God's purpose. And the text
interprets the act of resisting God's purpose, which is revealed through God's mediators like John, as a rejection of God's salvation plan.
