And They Derided Him!

Luke 16:14-15(NKJV)
Now the Pharisees, who were lovers of money, also heard all these things, and they derided Him. 
And He said to them, “You are those who justify yourselves before men, but God knows your hearts. For what is highly esteemed among men is an abomination in the sight of God.

Just so we are all on the same page, here is the definition of derided.

derided
verb (used with object), de·rid·ed, de·rid·ing.
to laugh at in scorn or contempt; scoff or jeer at; mock.

Can you imagine that?  These people met Jesus face to face and thought it would be a good idea to mock Him.

Wow!  Hard to understand or imagine!
