It's a shame...

 As he said these things, all his adversaries were put to shame, and all the people rejoiced at all the glorious things that were done by him.(Luke 13:17 ESV)
Jesus had said a number of things in this passage: "You need to Repent!"  "Woman, you are delivered."  "You hypocrites are so two-faced!"  It's a shame that many respond to Him not with sorry that leads to repentance, but shame that leads to hardness.  It's also a shame that the people rejoiced in... what He did, and not what He said.  For many, seeing was believing, when in reality, believing is seeing the Kingdom of God.
