Luke 11:52-54

The Holy Spirit will take the things of God shown through Jesus’s life teachings and explain them to you so that you will not remain ignorant. Don’t let others steal the joy and peace that comes in being forgiven through the Cross. Faith alone pleases God! Whoever asks receives and whoever knocks the door is opened.
Jesus charged the lawyers with doing the opposite of what they claimed their calling to be. Rather than bringing people nearer to God, they had removed the possibility of their entering into that knowledge, and had prevented others from understanding as well.
The scribes and Pharisees began challenging Jesus in the hope that He might make a blunder that would allow them to destroy His ministry. They were lying in wait for Him.
Luke 11:52-54
52 “Woe to you lawyers! For you have taken away the key of knowledge. You did not enter in yourselves, and those who were entering in you hindered.” 
53 And as He said these things to them, the scribes and the Pharisees began to assail Him vehemently, and to cross-examine Him about many things, 54 lying in wait for Him, and seeking to catch Him in something He might say, that they might accuse Him.
