No one
This phrase emphasizes the collective inability of the religious leaders and others present to respond to Jesus' profound wisdom. In the Greek, "οὐδεὶς" (oudeis) signifies absolute negation, highlighting the complete silence and defeat of those who sought to challenge Jesus. Historically, this moment underscores the authority of Jesus as the Son of God, whose wisdom surpasses human understanding.

was able
The Greek word "ἐδύνατο" (edynato) implies capability or power. Here, it indicates that despite their knowledge and status, the religious leaders lacked the ability to counter Jesus' argument. This reflects the divine wisdom of Christ, which is beyond human capability to refute or challenge.

to answer
The term "ἀποκριθῆναι" (apokrinai) means to respond or reply. In the context of this verse, it signifies the inability of the Pharisees and Sadducees to provide a rebuttal to Jesus' question about the Messiah. This silence is a testament to the truth and authority of Jesus' teachings.

a word
The Greek "λόγον" (logon) refers to a word or statement. The complete lack of response from the religious leaders indicates their recognition, whether conscious or not, of the truth in Jesus' words. This moment is pivotal, as it demonstrates the power of divine truth to silence human argument.

and from that day on
This phrase marks a turning point in the narrative. The Greek "ἀπὸ τῆς ἡμέρας ἐκείνης" (apo tēs hēmeras ekeinēs) suggests a significant change in the approach of the religious leaders towards Jesus. Historically, this marks the beginning of their shift from public questioning to plotting against Him, as they realized they could not defeat Him in debate.

no one dared
The word "ἐτόλμησεν" (etolmēsen) conveys a sense of fear or reluctance. The religious leaders, who were previously bold in their attempts to trap Jesus, now refrained from questioning Him. This reflects their recognition of His authority and the futility of their efforts against Him.

to question Him
The Greek "ἐπερωτῆσαι" (eperōtēsai) means to inquire or interrogate. The religious leaders' decision to cease questioning Jesus indicates their acknowledgment of His superior wisdom and authority. This cessation of questioning is a silent admission of defeat and a recognition of Jesus' divine insight.

any further
The phrase "οὐκέτι" (ouketi) signifies an end or cessation. It underscores the finality of the religious leaders' attempts to challenge Jesus through debate. This moment in the Gospel narrative highlights the ultimate authority of Christ, whose wisdom and truth are unassailable by human means.

Verse 46. - No man was able to answer him a word. They could not confute Christ's arguments; they would not receive and ponder them; so they held their peace. Had they had a real desire to be instructed, they would have profited by the present occasion; coming to the light with honest and good hearts, they would have been enlightened. But this was far from their wish, so they went away empty. Neither durst any man. They perceived that they could gain no advantage over Christ by such methods of attack. Pharisees, Herodians, Sadducees, had ignominiously succumbed; to make a fresh assault was to court a fresh defeat, Seeing this, they dared no longer tempt him in this way. Henceforward they would use other tactics. Treachery and violence must now play their part. These weapons would be more successful in compassing the destruction of the innocent Victim.
