"“Go, and Sin N o More” The Feast of Tabernacles had just ended. The priests and rabbis at Jerusalem had been defeated in their plottings against Jesus, and, as evening fell, “every man went unto his own house. Jesus went unto the Mount of Olives.” John 7:53 ; 8:1 . MH 86"
"And every man went unto his own house."
Ellen White directly references John 7:53 in this passage.
"returned to the temple; and as the people gathered about Him, He sat down and taught them. MH 86.2"
"And when he was come into the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came unto him as he was teaching, and said, By what authority doest thou these things? and who gave thee this authority?"
Both passages describe Jesus teaching in the temple with people gathered around Him. While Matthew 21:23 focuses on the challenge to Jesus' authority, the shared context of teaching in the temple justifies the connection.
"And in the day time he was teaching in the temple; and at night he went out, and abode in the mount that is called the mount of Olives."
Both passages mention Jesus teaching in the temple. Luke 21:37 provides a general description of Jesus' daily routine, which included teaching in the temple, similar to EGW's description.
