He had no time for political quarrels. That being said, wasn't what we now call the OT often referred to as "the Law"? Did not the Torah basically serve as the foundation for civil law in judaic culture? If so, I don't see how you can dismiss the significance of bluejacket's citation given the context in which it's delivered.
On the topic of Jesus speaking out on governmental policies - would it be fair to say Jesus was more concerned with the hearts of people than the political policies? Is that why he didn't speak out on governmental issues?
