The scribes and Pharisees…love the…markets.
(Matt. 23:1-7)

A scripture this week found in the International Sunday School Curriculum speaks of the “market” or marketplace. The Bible markets were filled with daily activities. Here are some things that were done there:

• Religious leaders loved to gather there
• Selling of animals, foods, and spices
• Bartering and trading
• People often looked for work
• Trials and hearings were held there
• Legal transactions were made
• Religious and political debates occurred there
