85 They Watch in Silence

Matthew 22:41-46; Mark 12:41-44; Luke 20:41-44; 21:1-4
TBC Book Two, Chapter 85
All day long a large crowd surrounded Jesus in the temple courtyard, and a group of Pharisees stood very close to him, for they had been asking him question after question. They had tried to come up with difficult questions, hoping at the very least to make Jesus look foolish in front of the crowds. Instead, he had answered with such wisdom and insight that the crowds loved him even more. And if the truth were known, even the Pharisees themselves were impressed by his replies. They were almost afraid to ask him any more questions. 

Seeing that they had grown silent, Jesus said to them, “Now I have a question for you. What do you think about the Messiah? Whose son is he?”

The answer seemed too easy. “The son of David,” they replied. They wondered what Jesus was leading up to. But they didn’t have to wait to find out. . . .
