<p>20:40 <i>And after that they dared not question him anymore</i>- They dared not even try to engage Him in debate because He was as it were winning, and the crowds were realizing this.&nbsp; These very words are used of how the disciples after the resurrection dared not ask who Jesus was (Jn. 21:12), which is the very context here. The connection is clearly to show that they too through their being too influenced by Jewish thinking found themselves in the same category as the unbelieving Jews- the difference being that they repented of it. The Greek for &ldquo;questions&rdquo; isn&rsquo;t in the original; they dared not ask Him again. The implication from the context could be that they dared not ask Him &lsquo;Who are You?&rsquo;, for the answer was clear in their consciences. They knew, on one level, that He was Messiah, that He was the heir to the vineyard, whom they knowingly sought to murder.</p>
