LUKE 20:21 — KING JAMES VERSION 0 1
“And they asked him, saying, Master, we know that thou sayest and teachest rightly, neither acceptest thou the person of any, but teachest the way of God truly:”
So the spies questioned him: teacher, we know that you speak and teach what is right, and that you do not show partiality but teach the way of God in accordance with the truth — the flattering introduction is the setup: teacher, you are known for truth-speaking and impartiality. The flattery is designed to make Jesus feel he must answer the following question in kind.
