"They were seeking how to obliterate him," Mark 11:18.
They who? Chief priests and scribes. The highest, mightiest, and smartest religious authorities in the country. Obliterate? Yes. To wipe him out, and his words, utterly. Him who? Jesus. Why? because he scared them. Scared them how? By teaching. Yeah. He taught right in the middle of the crowded city. What did he teach about? God. The kingdom of God. About God's temple a place of prayer for all nations. (Read: All, including Gentiles.) And when day was done, Jesus left the city and went to his hideaway.
We pray today with a brother or sister because Christ opened the real sky temple for us all into God's presence. And together with every other ethnicity we say, Thank You!
