Lucas 20:1 Meaning and Commentary

Luke 20:1

And it came to pass, that on one of those days
According to the account of the Evangelist Mark, it must be the second day, or two days after his public entrance into Jerusalem; for on the evening of the day he made his entry, he went out to Bethany with his disciples; the next morning, as he returned from thence, he cursed the barren fig tree; and when he came to the temple cast out the buyers and sellers; at evening he went out again, either to Bethany, or the Mount of Olives; and the next morning, as he and his disciples returned, the fig tree was observed to be dried up; and when they were come to Jerusalem, as he was walking in the temple, he was attacked by the sanhedrim, and had the following discourse with them:

as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the Gospel;
for he taught them by preaching that, and which he did most clearly, faithfully, and publicly, being abundantly anointed and qualified for it, and sent to do it.

The chief priests, and the Scribes, came upon him, with the
elders.
The whole sanhedrim being purposely convened together, came upon him in a body; and it may be suddenly, and at an unawares, and came open mouthed against him, and attacked him with great warmth and vehemency.

Lucas 20:1 In-Context

1 Y aconteció que en uno de los días cuando El enseñaba a la gente en el templo y anunciaba el evangelio, se le enfrentaron los principales sacerdotes y los escribas con los ancianos,

2 y le hablaron, diciéndole: Dinos, ¿con qué autoridad haces estas cosas, o quién te dio esta autoridad?

3 Respondiendo El, les dijo: Yo también os haré una pregunta; decidme:

4 El bautismo de Juan, ¿era del cielo o de los hombres?

5 Y ellos discurrían entre sí, diciendo: Si decimos: "Del cielo", El dirá: "¿Por qué no le creísteis?"
