Study Notes
Jesus' Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem
- Jesus and the disciples approached Jerusalem near the town of Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives.
- Two disciples were sent by Jesus to retrieve a donkey and her colt for His entry into the city.
- They were instructed to say, "The Lord has need of them" if questioned about taking the animals.
- This event fulfilled a prophecy from Zechariah about a king coming lowly on a donkey.
The Multitude's Reception
- A great multitude gathered to witness Jesus riding the donkey, spreading their clothes and palm branches on the road.
- They shouted praises, including "Hosanna to the Son of David!" and recognized Jesus as blessed and a significant figure.
Jesus Cleanses the Temple
- Upon entering the temple, Jesus drove out those buying and selling, declaring the temple a place of prayer rather than a den of thieves.
- The blind and lame came to Jesus in the temple, where He healed them.
- The chief priests and scribes were indignant at the children praising Jesus.
Questions of Authority and Parables
- The chief priests challenged Jesus, questioning His authority while He taught in the temple.
- Jesus responded with a question about John the Baptist's baptism, leaving them unable to answer without inciting the crowd.
- Jesus told a parable about two sons to illustrate responses to God's call, emphasizing that tax collectors and sinners would enter the kingdom of God before the religious leaders.
Parable of the Wicked Vinedressers
- A landowner sent servants to collect fruit from his vineyard, but the vinedressers mistreated the servants and ultimately killed the owner's son, thinking they could seize his inheritance.
- Jesus asked the chief priests what the owner would do to those vinedressers, leading them to acknowledge that the owner would destroy them and lease the vineyard to others.
- This parable foreshadowed the rejection of Jesus and the transfer of the kingdom of God to those who are fruitful.
The Cornerstone
- Jesus referred to Himself as the stone the builders rejected, which became the chief cornerstone, signifying God’s sovereignty in establishing His kingdom.
- Those who fall on this stone will be broken, and it will grind those on whom it falls to powder, foreshadowing judgment.
Reactions of the Authorities
- The chief priests and Pharisees recognized that these parables were directed at them and sought to arrest Jesus but refrained due to fear of the multitudes, who viewed Jesus as a prophet.
