What was Jesus trying to teach about giving (amount, motive, attitute)?
Jesus praised the poor widow who gave out of love from  whatever she could while others made a show off giving from what they had in excess. The lesson Jesus taught is to give out of love from whatever you can afford for money does not buy  Gods blessings, grace and peace that transcends all human understanding.

Why didn`t Jesus want those He healed to make Him known?
 

Jesus was not healing those to gain fame for himself but was doing it in the name of his Father.  Jesus knew that the healed would still go out and spread the word about the miracle yet he still healed them. 

Something else came to mind when I was thinking of an answer for this question, is that even though we are talking about Jesus the son of God, he was still human and had human traits.  Maybe he was trying to pace himself so he did not get to tired.  If he were overwhelmed by the masses and the healing then when would he have had time to teach the word of God" He would have continued healing constantly and not stopped, because he was compassionate and merciful that he would not have turned them away"  I do not know but it is something I thought of.

Thank you Jesus!

Why do you think Pilate gave Jesus the title "King of the Jews"?
  Pilate was not of Jewish Bloodline. "It was the Jews that released Barrabas & allowed Pilate to Mock JESUS." CHRIST told Pilate "HIS Kingdom was Not of this world." Pilate,nor many today, believe,understand or care. Pilate flat out Mocked JESUS because CHRIST let Pilate Know "JESUS' Kingdom has NO Boundaries but hell.Therefore Pilate released HIM to the People to Crucify.CHRIST Moment from Birth to now is about to give GOD ALL Glory through Fullfilment of Scripture."

Why was the crowd so intent on having Jesus crucified?
The people that made up the crowds were obviously very happy with their disobedient, unrighteous, and sinful way of living. Jesus Words of and for righteous living has most assuredly stirred them up. The crowd’s decision to continue wallowing in sin was evident in their shouts!! Crucify him, crucify him. Crowds are fickle. They loved Jesus on Sunday because they thought he was going to inaugurate his Kingdom. Then they hated him on Friday when his power appeared broken. Another possibility is that the multitude included many people who were in the Palm Sunday parade but who turned against Jesus when they saw that he was not going to be an earthly conqueror and their deliverer from Rome. In the face of the mass uprising against Jesus, even his friends were afraid to speak up... Because we are all sinners, we all played a part in putting Jesus to death. The good news is that God is gracious. He will forgive us and give us new life through his Son, Jesus Christ.
