Blind to the Divine
Commentators note the Jewish leaders' complete spiritual blindness. When Jesus speaks of returning to the Father in heaven, they can only imagine a physical journey to a distant land. Their question is filled with scorn, showing how a focus on earthly matters can make one deaf to divine truths. They mock what they cannot comprehend.
