ἐδίδασκε covers more than what He said just then, pointing to a course of teaching (cf. Mark 11:18 and Luke 19:47). Here again we note that while Mt. speaks of a healing ministry in the temple (Matthew 21:14) Mk. gives prominence to teaching. Yet Mt. gives a far fuller report of the words spoken by Jesus during the last week. πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν, to all the Gentiles, as in Isaiah 56:7, omitted in the parallels; very suitable in view of the fact that the traffic went on in the court of the Gentiles. A foreshadowing of Christian universalism. πεποιήκατε, ye have made it and it now is.
