11:27-33 Following the cleansing of the Temple (11:15-17; Matt 21:12-22; Luke 19:45-46), Jesus’ opponents question his authority to do so (see also Matt 21:23-27; Luke 20:1-8; cp. John 2:18-22). 11:27 Upon returning again to Jerusalem (see 11:1, 11, 15), Jesus and the disciples entered the Temple. The frequent repetition of Jerusalem reminds readers of what would soon take place there (10:32-34; see 8:31; 9:31; 14:1–16:8). • In the Temple, Jesus encountered the leading priests, the teachers of religious law, and the elders. These three groups made up the seventy-one–member high council (the ruling body of the nation). From earlier encounters with them (8:31; see also 14:43, 53; 15:1), we expect them to oppose Jesus.
