FHE-Last Week of Christ's Life, Tuesday cont.




Pharisees and Sadducees try to entagle him in tricky questions, but they forget who they are questioning!

Question# 1 By What Authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?
Jesus' Response- Matt. 21:24-27 and then he gave three parables directed right at the Pharisees. (Parable of the 2 Sons, Parable of the Wicked Husbandmen, and the Parable of the Royal Marriage Feast)






Question #2 Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar?
Jesus' Response-Matt. 22:18-21



Masaccio, The Tribute Money, fresco, 1427 (Brancacci Chapel, Santa Maria del Carmine, Florence)

Question #3 In the resurrection whose wife shall she be?
Jesus' Response- Matt. 22:23-33 and D&C 132:15-16




Question #4 Which is the great commandment in the law?
Jesus' response-Matt. 22:37-40

Each time Jesus masterfully confounded their questions, silenced them, and they marvelled at his words, which were obvisously a condemnation upon them.
