SEV Biblia, Chapter 20:1
¶ Y aconteci un día, que enseando l al pueblo en el Templo, y anunciando el Evangelio, llegaron los príncipes de los sacerdotes y los escribas, con los ancianos;
Clarke's Bible Commentary - Luke 20:1
Verse 1. One of those days] Supposed to have been one of the four last days of his life, mentioned chap. xix. 47, probably Tuesday before the passover.
John Gill's Bible Commentary
Ver. 1. And it came to pass, that on one of those days , etc.] According to the account of the Evangelist Mark, it must be the second day, or two days after his public entrance into Jerusalem; for on the evening of the day he made his entry, he went out to Bethany with his disciples; the next morning, as he returned from thence, he cursed the barren fig tree; and when he came to the temple cast out the buyers and sellers; at evening he went out again, either to Bethany, or the Mount of Olives; and the next morning, as he and his disciples returned, the fig tree was observed to be dried up; and when they were come to Jerusalem, as he was walking in the temple, he was attacked by the sanhedrim, and had the following discourse with them: as he taught the people in the temple, and preached the Gospel ; for he taught them by preaching that, and which he did most clearly, faithfully, and publicly, being abundantly anointed and qualified for it, and sent to do it. The chief priests, and the Scribes, came upon him, with the elders . The whole sanhedrim being purposely convened together, came upon him in a body; and it may be suddenly, and at an unawares, and came open mouthed against him, and attacked him with great warmth and vehemency.
Matthew Henry Commentary
Verses 1-8 - Men often pretend to examine the evidences of revelation, and the trut of the gospel, when only seeking excuses for their own unbelief an disobedience. Christ answered these priests and scribes with a plai question about the baptism of John, which the common people coul answer. They all knew it was from heaven, nothing in it had an earthl tendency. Those that bury the knowledge they have, are justly denie further knowledge. It was just with Christ to refuse to give account of his authority, to those who knew the baptism of John to be from heaven yet would not believe in him, nor own their knowledge.

Robertson's NT Word Studies
20:1 {On one of the days} (en miai twn hemerwn). Luke's favorite way of indicating time. It was the last day of the temple teaching (Tuesday). #Lu 20:1-19 is to be compared with #Mr 11:27-12:12; Mt 21:23-46. {There came upon him} (epestesan). Second aorist active indicative, ingressive aorist of efistemi, old and common verb, stood up against him, with the notion of sudden appearance. These leaders (cf. #19:47) had determined to attack Jesus on this morning, both Sadducees (chief priests) and Pharisees (scribes), a formal delegation from the Sanhedrin.
