Bible Question: Luke 19:47, "and He [Jesus] was teaching daily in the temple; but the chief priests and the scribes and the leading men among the people were trying to destroy Him." Why? |
Bible Answer: My NIV Life Application notes: Luke 19:47 - Who were the "leaders among the people"? This group probably included wealthy leaders in politics, commerce, and law. They had several reasons for wanting to get rid of Jesus. He had damaged business in the temple by driving the merchants out. In addition, he was preaching against injustice, and his teachings often favored the poor over the rich. Further, his great popularity was in danger of attracting Rome's attention, and the leaders of Israel wanted as little as possible to do with Rome. |
