Jesus knowing that they were hypocrites,challenged them by reminding them that they too were sinful, and most likely were fornicators themselves (He who looks at a woman with lust, has committed adultery with her in his heart, Matthew 5:27-28).

Every time God wants to give you a blessing you can expect birds of prey to come to steal your blessing. It's up to you to chase them away.
