He Spake of Them

Matthew 21:45 KJV
And when the chief priests and Pharisees had heard his parables, they perceived that he spake of them.

Jesus preached in such a way that the. Pharisees knew He was speaking of them. He did not withhold this particular message until the Pharisees were not there to hear (though He might have done that because those that the message instructed were disciples. He could have waited until the disciples were alone.) Neither did he preach the message in either such a way that it was less offensive or that the Pharisees would not perceive He spake of them.

Jesus preached what was the word of God.

He preached so all could hear and He used illustrations that any who would could understand. He did not shirk because He was afraid of the consequences. He did not see it as His job to make everyone feel good about the message. Those who would receive it, we're blessed. Those who refused to receive Him as Saviour understood perfectly the consequences of their choice.
