Jesus was able to discern that they were there for the show. They were there for the sensationalism that Jesus could offer. They didn't want Him. That's no different than how we use people today, how parents use children, how a husband can use a wife, how a wife can use a husband, how friends can use each other. They weren't believing in a personal, intimate relationship with Jesus. It was completely superficial. This is something for us to consider in our spiritual lives. Why are we here? Is it because we love Jesus, because we desire to be in His presence?
