Awesome! I did not know about the Imperial parade so close to Passover. It makes this whole incident so much more meaningful. Thank you, and blessings.

Thanks. Clearly time to take another look at Borg - it's been ages since I've read his work.

Hi Jared - I reread this sentence a few times before figuring it out. I think the word "say" should be "saw". Is that correct?

The politically astute who say the procession knew this would invite the attention of Rome.
