Ever wish you could take something back? Maybe some words or a reaction you managed poorly? I wonder what these people had to say to Jesus later on. "Our bad... we didn't realize you were the Messiah. Sorry Jesus. It wasn't my idea to throw you off the cliff. Can we still be friends?"
We all get things wrong. Every sin is a sin against God. When we choose sin, we deepen the separation between ourselves and God as well as the separation between ourselves and one another. Sin isolates.
Thankfully, even though this happened at the beginning of Jesus' ministry, he didn't give up on us. Though they came to condemn him, Jesus came to save and deliver, and would not be deterred by the depth of our sin.
