Today's lesson covers what B. W. Bacon calls "Book 5," which covers the narrative found in chapters 19-24:3, and the discourse about Jesus' 2nd coming in chapter 24:4-25. Jesus finished these sayings in chapter 26:1. This section covers conflict between Jesus and the Pharisees and the Sadducees. They tried to trip Him up with many temptations and questions, but they never could. He ended up tripping them up with the question, How can the Son of David also be David's Lord," Psalm 110:1? In this section Jesus declares woes unto the religious leaders that are blind guides, He does a few miracles, He cleansed the temple, and He told parables about the Kingdom of Heaven, and what the people of the Kingdom of Heaven act like. Most importantly, He prepared His disciples that His death and resurrection was happening soon.
