They were known for their strict adherence to the Law of Moses and the oral traditions. In the context of <a href="/luke/19.htm">Luke 19</a>, Jesus is entering Jerusalem, and the Pharisees are part of the crowd witnessing this event. Their presence highlights the tension between Jesus and the religious leaders, who often opposed His teachings and actions. The Pharisees' concern here reflects their discomfort with the public acclamation of Jesus as the Messiah, which they did not accept.said to Him The Pharisees directly address Jesus, indicating their authority and expectation that He would heed their request. This interaction shows their attempt to assert control over the situation and maintain religious order according to their understanding. It also underscores the growing conflict between Jesus and the religious authorities, which would eventually lead to His crucifixion.“Teacher, rebuke Your disciples!” By calling Jesus "Teacher," the Pharisees acknowledge His role as a rabbi or religious instructor, yet they do not recognize Him as the Messiah. Their demand for Jesus to rebuke His disciples reveals their disapproval of the disciples' actions, which involved praising Jesus as the King who comes in the name of the Lord. This request is rooted in their fear of Roman reprisal and their desire to prevent any messianic fervor that could disrupt the status quo. The Pharisees' reaction contrasts with the disciples' recognition of Jesus' true identity and mission, as foretold in prophecies such as <a href="/zechariah/9-9.htm">Zechariah 9:9</a>, which speaks of a king coming to Jerusalem riding on a donkey.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <a href="/topical/p/pharisees.htm">Pharisees</a> A religious group in Judaism known for strict adherence to the Law and traditions.

The section of the Pharisees that spoke was probably that which had all along more or less acknowledged our Lord as a "Master" (i.e., Teacher or Rabbi), and were willing to give Him what they thought a fair share of respect as such. To go beyond that, to receive Him as the promised "He that cometh," as "the king of Israel, the Christ," seemed to them but the wild frenzy of the disciples, which the Master ought to check.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/pulpit/luke/19.htm">Pulpit Commentary</a></div>Verses 39, 40. - And some of the Pharisees from among the multitude said unto him, Master, rebuke thy disciples. And he answered and said unto them, I tell you that, if these should hold their peace, the stones would immediately cry out. These Pharisees were probably some of that great and influential sect who had all along listened with respect and attention to the Master, looking upon him as a most able and powerful Rabbi, but refusing to entertain any of the growing Messianic conceptions respecting his person. Godet graphically paints the scene in his suggestion that the words, "Rebuke thy disciples," were accompanied with an irritated and anxious look towards the frowning citadel of Antonia, where the Roman garrison of Jerusalem lay. It was there in full view of Jesus and the crowds. The anxious look seemed to say that the Romans were on the watch for any signs of disaffection on the part of the hated and suspected Jews. The answer of Jesus, continues the same writer, has a terrible majesty. "If I could silence all these," looking round on the impassioned faces of the multitude as they waved their palm branches in homage to their King, "the very stones on the ground would cry aloud." This striking imagery was a memory of our Lord of the prophecy of Habakkuk: "The stone shall cry out of the wall, and the beam out of the timber shall answer it" (<a href="/habakkuk/2-11.htm">Habakkuk 2:11</a>). <a href="/commentaries/luke/19-39.htm">Parallel Commentaries ...</a> <a name="lexicon" id="lexicon"></a><div class="vheading">Greek</div>But Καί (Kai) Conjunction <a href="/greek/strongs_2532.htm">Strong's 2532: </a> And, even, also, namely. some τινες (tines) Interrogative / Indefinite Pronoun - Nominative Masculine Plural <a href="/greek/strongs_5100.htm">Strong's 5100: </a> Any one, some one, a certain one or thing.
