Honor Contest: Round 1

The Passover was approaching and the people of Israel were gathering in Jerusalem. They were selecting lambs for the Passover observance and took them to the temple officials to make sure they were acceptable - no blemishes - no deformities - perfect as the law prescribed.

As this was happening, Jesus was presenting himself in the temple as the Messiah - the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world. The temple authorities approached him in an attempt to disqualify him.  Would he pass their hostile examination or not?
