“The simple answer is that they probably didn’t. There were two groups of people. The Matthew account of the Triumphal Entry clearly delineates between the two.” - P&D

“The final form of the Greek text of the New Testament is what I have to deal with. In other words, I’m suspicious of the whole question of the role of Aramaic. What effect can it have other than to destabilize the Greek text that we in fact possess?” - Mark Ward

“Little children had no status in the ancient world. They did not hold family position, did not own possessions, did not have jobs. They possessed nothing that would give them social status except their relationship to their parents.” - P&D

“The moment is delicate. Questions are good, but they can easily become interrogations. What do we say when there’s so much we don’t know? Jesus once met a woman like this.” - TGC

“Most American Christians think of Easter as only a day and of Ascension Day as barely a blip on the calendar. However, in different times and places, Christians put a high priority on the Ascension. In the first few centuries of the Church, it was celebrated, along with Pentecost, as part of the Easter season.” - Breakpoint

“The Bible doesn’t say Jesus was nailed to a cross. Telling the story of Christ’s death, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John simply say that Roman soldiers crucified him. They don’t say how.” - CToday

“Priests and people had turned worship into a racket (in more ways than one). And both leaders and laymen were culpable. As it turns out, there is nothing new under the sun.” - BJU Seminary
