The Priests and the People

How unlike each other
their reactions to the teachings,
the healings, the ministry
the true identity of Jesus

The priest and the people
the elders and the commoners
seeing him so differently
from their own point of view

Clouded by their blindness
holding onto their power
refusing to see his fulfillment
of the law, all prophecies

The Messiah before them
even entering the Temple
judging him guilty, harshly
when he but spoke his holy name
