The spiritual leaders had failed, right in front of the people, and could not use his words against him. They were amazed at his wisdom and hung their heads in silence.
The enemies of Creator Sets Free (Jesus) were put to shame by his words, but the hearts of the people jumped for joy because of the wonderful things he was doing.
None of the spiritual leaders could answer him. From that time on, no one dared to challenge him with another question. His great wisdom had silenced the ones who were against him.
