Here Jesus suggests that he is like a doctor who makes house calls. The Pharisees attempt to obstruct the work of Jesus. They do this in Jesus' presence. It is because they belong to the old order of things. In the new community the gift of relationship is cherished.
Persons find new freedom to face each other and to speak of things which are most important.
In the old order of things persons sneak around unable to address others directly. Language becomes calculated and designed to preserve the old order. There is a word for what the Pharisees are doing. It is called triangling . Jesus, his disciples and the Pharisees.
