What happensPermalink
Scribes ask Jesus on whose authority he cleansed the Temple; He answers with a question about John they dare not answer. He tells the parable of the husbandmen and says to give to Caesar things that are Caesar’s. He teaches on marriage.
Why it mattersPermalink
Jesus speaks in two mysterious ways: in parables, which hide the truth from those unwilling to see it; and in unanswerable questions, which challenge His opponents on the core of their beliefs. He has come for all, but only if we have ears to hear.
Key versePermalink
“Now he is not God of the dead, but of the living, for all live to him.”
