The Confrontation Between Divine And Human Authority.
Contributed on Feb 15, 2026
Who is Jesus? Who is Jesus to us?
THE CONFRONTATION BETWEEN DIVINE AND HUMAN AUTHORITY. Matthew 21:23-27. This conversation follows hard on the heels of Jesus’ cleansing of the Temple (cf.

Anticipating the suffering of Jesus.
ELIJAH, JOHN THE BAPTIST, AND JESUS. Matthew 17:10-13. As they came down the mountain of Transfiguration, Peter, James and John asked Jesus, “Why then do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?” (MATTHEW 17:10).
