Detailed explanation-1: -He is God’s special agent of revelation and claims to act on God’s behalf (cf. 1:18; 3:34-35; 5:17). On another occasion, Jesus asserts that his words are ‘Spirit and life’ (6:63). Jesus’ command to the dead Lazarus (11:43) demonstrates his authority to give life to whomever he wishes (5:21).
Detailed explanation-2: -Jesus was accused of blasphemy by the Jewish leaders. Blasphemy is a religious offence, when a person says or does something regarded as being disrespectful to God.
Detailed explanation-3: -The kingdom of God, Jesus replied, is not something people will be able to see and point to. Then came these striking words: “Neither shall they say, Lo here! or, lo there! for, behold, the kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21) With these words, Jesus gave voice to a teaching that is universal and timeless.
Detailed explanation-4: -In Mark’s view, Jesus’ main adversaries in Galilee were scribes, but, according to Matthew, they were Pharisees.
