Luk 19:47 | MHM | STEP | v. 47–48 : Jesus taught in the temple every day (Luke 19:47 ). The religious leaders wanted to destroy Him, but the ordinary people listened to Him carefully. They respected His teaching and did not want to miss anything He said. The leaders could not hurt Jesus at this time because the people supported Him. Yet, when the right time came, these same leaders would turn the people against Jesus. Until then, the crowd’s interest in His teaching protected Him.
