Stones Crying Out
By Peter Leithart
If the disciples are silenced, Jesus says in answer to the Pharisees who demand that they stop hailing Him as king, then these very stones will cry out. He is on His way into Jerusalem, and the stones are the same stones that will someday be thrown down, the stones of the city and temple. The disciples are silenced (by the Jews) and the stones, not one on top of another, do cry out that Jesus is the King who comes in the Name of Yahweh.
