A:The synoptic gospels give the 'Cleansing of the Temple' as the turning point after Jesus arrived in Jerusalem, and as final trigger for the arrest of Jesus.

For theological reasons, the author of John wanted to make the resurrection of Lazarus the final trigger. He therefore moved the Cleansing of the Temple out of the way, to the beginning of his story, almost immediately after Jesus met John the Baptist. In John 12:19, the turning point is identified: "The Pharisees therefore said among themselves, Perceive ye how ye prevail nothing? behold, the world is gone after him.")
