Pulpit Commentary

Pulpit CommentaryVerse 47. - And he taught daily in the temple. This and the following verses give, after the manner of St. Luke, both in his Gospel and in the Acts, a general picture of the Lord's life in these last days of his public ministry in Jerusalem; anal of the effect of his last teaching (l) upon the priests and scribes, etc., and (2) upon the mass of the people. The Greek word rendered "very attentive to hear (him)" is an expressive one, and describes the intense attention with which the people generally listened to the last solemn public utterances of the Master. It means literally, "they hung upon his lips."

Ellicott's Commentary

Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers(47) And he taught daily in the temple.--Literally, He was teaching.The chief of the people.--Literally, the first of the people. The word is the same as in Mark 6:21, for "the chief estates" of Galilee. Here, apparently, it denotes those who, whether members of the Sanhedrin or not, were men of mark--notables, as it were--among the inhabitants of Jerusalem. As to the purpose ascribed to them, see Note on Mark 11:18.
