I would compare this 'scholar', who spent 12 hours a day reading the Gospels in order to find out that Jesus was not crucified, with one of our grandmas who repent that she had not found 20 minutes to read her daily chapter from the Gospel, because she had to clean the dishes...but she prayed all the time like this 'As I clean these dishes You clean my soul' ... guess whom of the two went home justified before God...
