At this time people start to plot to kill Jesus. Why, because he called them out. He called out their fake religion and challenged them to live for real before God not before men. He was disturbing their place of power and authority by being truthful.
Did you know that truth and doing the right thing can get you in trouble? Sometimes people do not like to be confronted with their own sin, especially when they think they are good, and even more so when others think they are good. This is why we need to avoid the idol of being liked and thought well of by others, and why we need to make sure that in the church the glory goes to God and not a man.
Because of the truth that Jesus had been spouting they were going to try to kill him. They knew the crowds liked him so they conspired behind closed doors and we’re going to try and do it in a way that did not make the crowds angry.
