Three Questions, but One Answer

After three symbolic actions at the beginning of the Passion week of Christ (city entry, cleanse temple, curse fig tree), and then three parables of the kingdom (two sons, wicked vinedressers, wedding feast), now Christ fields three "trick" questions from men representing three religious leader groups opposed to Him (pharisees, sadducees, scribes). Jesus' response to each of those three questions destroyed the trap, corrected their misunderstanding of the subject, and taught further on the subject. And each of His answers pointed to Himself before He then responded with His own question to them about Himself--a question they could not (or could not dare) answer.

Jesus corrects misunderstandings about the kingdoms, the resurrection, the Law, and the Messiah (Himself!). And we see how Jesus fulfills all four subjects.
