We see a great deal of theology in these verses: divine omniscience and divine election. The Lord’s response to the Pharisees reveals these attributes of God. The Lord had access to divine knowledge which the Pharisees did not have. The Lord assessed people based on the Father’s choice. He accepted everyone whom the Father gave and drew to Him. Unlike the Pharisees, the Lord did not judge the book by its cover, but by a divine collaboration with the Father.
