Matthew and Mark: Jesus. "Then one of them, which was a lawyer, asked him a question, tempting him, saying, Master which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself" (xxii, 35-39). Luke: The lawyer. "And, behold, a certain lawyer stood up, and tempted him, saying, Master, what shall I do to inherit eternal life? He said unto him, What is written in the law? how readest thou? And he [the lawyer] answering said, Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind; and thy neighbor as thyself" (x, 25-27). 234 "And after that they durst not ask him any questions." After what? Matthew: After his controversy with the Pharisees respecting David and Christ (xxii, 41-46). Mark: After his conversation with the scribe regarding the commandments (xii, 28-37). Luke: After confuting the Sadducees in regard to the resurrection (xx, 27-40). 235 Did his controversy concerning David and Christ take place with the Pharisees, as stated by Matthew? Luke: It did not. It was with "certain of the scribes" (xx, 39). 236 Where was Jesus on the day preceding his triumphal entry into Jerusalem? John: With Lazarus at Bethany (three miles from Jerusalem) (xii, 1-15). Luke: With Zaccheus near Jericho (twenty miles from Jerusalem) (xix, 1-40). 237 Preparatory to his triumphal entry what command did he give his disciples? "Go ye into the village over against you; in the which at your entering ye shall find a colt tied, whereon yet never man sat: loose him, and bring him hither" (Luke xix, 30). "Go into the village over against you, and straightway ye shall find an ass tied, and a colt with her: loose them, and bring them unto me" (Matthew xxi, 2). 238 Did he ride both animals? Matthew: He did. "And the disciples went, and did as Jesus commanded them, and brought the ass, and the colt, and put on them their clothes, and they set him thereon" (6, 7). The equestrian feat of his riding two asses, a large one and a small one, at the same time, must have heightened the effect of this sublime pageant. Matthew is continually seeing double. In the demoniac of Gadara he sees two demoniacs; in the blind man by the wayside he sees two men; and in other instances where the other Evangelists see but one person or thing he sees two. 239 The riding of two asses by Jesus was in fulfillment of what prophecy? Matthew: "And this was done, that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, saying, Tell ye the daughter of Sion, Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of an ass" (xxi, 4, 5).
