📚 Contexto Histórico
In Luke 20, Jesus is in the temple courts during his final days in Jerusalem, where he is being challenged by the chief priests and scribes about the source of his authority. They are debating whether to affirm that John the Baptist's ministry came from heaven or from men, fearing backlash from the crowds who held John in high esteem as a true prophet. This reflects the broader cultural tension in first-century Judea, where the people's devotion to prophetic figures like John often clashed with the religious establishment's control.
