Meanwhile Jesus passed unnoticed to the temple. All was quiet there, for the scene upon Olivet had called away the people. For a short time Jesus remained at the temple, looking upon it with sorrowful eyes. Then He withdrew with His disciples, and returned to Bethany. When the people sought for Him to place Him on the throne, He was not to be found.

I mellemtiden var Jesus ubemærket nået til templet. Her var alt stille, thi tildragelsen på Oliebjerget havde kaldt folk bort. En kort tid blev Jesus stående ved templet og betragtede det sorgfuldt. Så trak han sig tilbage sammen med sine disciple og vendte tilbage til Betania. Da folket ledte efter ham for at udråbe ham til konge, kunne de ingen steder finde ham.
