From the crowds mentioned that greeted him going into Jerusalem, one could see that he may have been rather popular with the masses. It looks like just a segment of the society on the higher and mightier business and religious class of Jerusalem who wanted to keep their status quo did not like him and wanted him removed.2) I do not know if their was a difference in people's mentality or outlook between the two regions but don't forget that Jerusalem was under Roman control whereas Galilee was under King Herod Agrippa's control as Rome had given him a lot of autonomy and perhaps one could be a little mouthier there with the exception of running down Herod as John the Baptist found out..Cheers,Michael Kelly</blockquote>
