And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him: and he sat down, and taught them — returning at dawn, Jesus enters the temple again, and crowds gather. The image of his sitting down (seated as a teacher) and teaching emphasizes his authority and accessibility. The gathering 'all the people' suggests his popularity despite the authorities' opposition. The phrase 'early in the morning' may carry symbolic weight: the beginning of a new day, perhaps foreshadowing the new light he brings.
