Document Summary

Within 2 or 3 years after jesus death, the movement was trying to join non-jews. These non-jews should not feel as though they had to become jewish i. e. get circumcised. How jesus interpreted his own death a head of time. All the sources we have agree about how jesus died: this makes it more possible that it is true that pontius pilot crucified jesus. There is a long tradition in christianity that the jews killed jesus. Where there any jews in jesus day who could legally murder. How does the temple kill people: the high priest. The second most probable thing about jesus is that jesus died in jerusalem during the time of passover. Jews from galilee would go to the festivals: most people would if they were able, in theory. 3 times a year jerusalem went nuts. Jesus was actually killed close to passover: this is what all of the sources say, the sources come down to, mark.
