Yesterday we heard how people with defiling diseases had to live separately from the camp. And we heard about cleansing for issues involving the conscience, and what a man might do if he suspected his wife of unfaithfulness. (A man would have to be a terrible jerk to do this to his wife if he didn't have good reasons for his suspicions!) The 6th chapter dealt with the Nazarite vow, and the ended with the famous Aaronic blessing.

Yesterday in 19b, Jesus triumphantly entered Jerusalem. While on the road he wept over Jerusalem because of the spiritual blindness of the leaders, and he cleansed the temple of commerce.
Translation notes:
8 And Jesus responded, “Then I won’t tell you [either/0] by
what authority I do these things.”
16 “I’ll tell you—he will come and kill those farmers and lease the vineyard to others.”
[His listeners protested, “Oh, may such a thing never
happen!”//“How terrible that such a thing should ever happen.”]
19 The teachers of religious law and the leading priests
wanted to arrest Jesus immediately because they realized he
was telling the story against them—they were the wicked
farmers. But they [did nothing because//0] they were afraid of the people’s reaction.
23 He saw through their [duplicity/trickery] and
said, 24 “Show me a Roman coin. Whose picture and title are stamped [here/0] on it?”
41 Then Jesus presented them with a question. [“Note that there is a problem with the teaching that the Messiah will come as a descendant of David.”//”Why is it,” he asked, “that the Messiah is said to be the son of David?”]
44 Since David called the Messiah ‘Lord,’ [it is clear
that the Messiah cannot just be his descendant!//how can the Messiah be his son?]”
