19:47 The clearing of the Temple catalyzed the opposition and precipitated Jesus’ crucifixion (but see study note on Mark 11:12-25). • Jesus’ opposition in Galilee came mainly from the Pharisees and teachers of religious law; in Jerusalem, the opposition also included the leading priests, who controlled the Temple. Jesus’ actions against the Temple trade threatened their authority.
