It's almost as if Jesus is saying, "I dare you!"

The evening before, he had arrived at the Temple, riding on the colt of a donkey, surrounded by crowds of cheering people who were welcoming him as the Messiah, and opposed by Pharisees who were telling him to rebuke them. But it was getting late, so Jesus and his disciples headed back out of the city. The next morning, he returned without fanfare, but obviously, he was ticked.
