📚 Contexto Histórico
In the historical context of Matthew 21, Jesus had just entered Jerusalem triumphantly and disrupted the temple by driving out the money changers, which provoked the chief priests and elders to challenge his authority. When they confronted him, Jesus responded by posing a counter-question about the source of John the Baptist's authority, forcing them to reflect on their own inconsistencies. This interaction occurred during the tense final week of Jesus's ministry, highlighting the growing opposition from religious leaders who felt threatened by his teachings and actions.
