Why do you call Me, 'Lord, Lord, ' and do not do what I say? (Luke 6:46)

About This Quote

This statement comes from the book of Luke chapter 6. The question asked by the Pharisees is why do you call Me Lord, Lord but do not follow My instructions? This implies that they were telling Jesus that He was Lord, but they weren't following the instructions He was giving them because He wasn't telling them to be violent.
