"If Jesus' intention was to educate and not to silence, then he did a lousy job of it..." Not really, if the students aren't bright enough to handle advanced studies, that's hardly the teachers fault. However I think the real reason they were silent is that they were not trying to learn in the first place, they simply wanted to trap Jesus "testing Him", in order to use it against Him. Jesus simply turns the table on them saying in essence "I've answered your question, now let me ask you one". This had the effect of silencing them because they couldn't answer the question without acknowledging the deity of Messiah and by clear implication Jesus Himself. This was the total opposite of what they had intended so the easy way out was to just shut their mouths. Greg
