And Jesus walked in the temple in Solomon’s porch.
Jesus was in Jerusalem for the winter Feast of Dedication, walking in Solomon's porch of the temple. There the Jews gathered around Him and demanded that He tell them plainly whether He was the Christ. This moment belongs to the account in which He presents Himself as the true Shepherd and keeper of God's flock. That self-revelation stands in contrast with Israel's leaders, who had driven a man away from the fold.
