Luke 11:52

key of knowledge—not the key to open knowledge, but knowledge, the only key to open heaven. In Matthew 23:13, they are accused of shutting heaven; here of taking away the key, which was worse. A right knowledge of God's Word is eternal life (John 17:3); but this they took away from the people, substituting for it their wretched traditions.
