this is a very deliberately provocative act. jesus is essentially claiming, "i am the king of the jews, the expected messiah, coming from the east into jerusalem to bring new hope." >> anyone in authority at the time would be deeply concerned that jesus was actually trying to incite some kind of rebellion. >> pontius pilate is also in jerusalem, not to celebrate passover, but to keep the peace and dispense roman justice. >> imagine you have thousands and thousands of people coming to the same place. they're staying in tents all around 9 the city. in walks jesus with thousands of followers, and he tries to disrupt what's going on there.
