Verse 52
Woe unto you lawyers! for ye took away the key of knowledge; ye entered not in yourselves, and them that were entering in ye hindered.
This is Woe 3. "The key of knowledge ..." taken away by the false interpretations of the lawyers was "the true knowledge of the Messiah, which is the key of both the present and the future kingdom of heaven; the kingdom of grace and of glory."[54] The same meaning, although expressed differently, was seen by Childers: "The key which unlocks the door of the kingdom of God is the Scriptures."[55] It should not fail to be noted that Satan still has his multitudes of "interpreters" who are neither entering the kingdom nor permitting others to enter.
