Summary/Abstract: In Jerusalem, Jesus, earlier followed by crowds of people in Galilea, experiences the feeling of radical estrangement. After the prophetic and messianic act (of overturning the tables of the money changers and the benches of sellers) which he performed in the temple he is approached by the Jewish authorities with hostility, and the plot to kill him is begun. In Jerusalem, Jesus is perceived as a heretic who has allegedly violated the integrity of Judaism, thus having alienated himself from that religion. The Jewish authorities are incapable of accepting the divine nature of Jesus and ignore the fact that the Revelation has been fully accomplished in him. Therefore they render themselves unable to witness the transformation of biblical Judaism into Christianity.
