Jesus the Jew

Product Information

Although the vast majority of Jews did not belong to a party, the study of these parties reveals the substantial variety within the general framework of Judaism. Another indicator of this variety was the diversity of Jewish leaders. Among them were charismatic healers and miracle workers, such as Honi the Circle Drawer and Hanina ben Dosa; hermitlike sages, such as Bannus; eschatological prophets, such as John the Baptist; would-be messianic prophets, such as Theudas and the Egyptian; and apocalyptic visionaries, represented by the pseudepigraphal First Book of Enoch. The Romanian Orthodox Church uses INRI, since abbreviation in Romanian is exactly the same as in Latin ( Iisus Nazarineanul Regele Iudeilor) The Synoptics depict two distinct geographical settings in Jesus' ministry. The first takes place north of Judea, in Galilee, where Jesus conducts a successful ministry, and the second shows Jesus rejected and killed when he travels to Jerusalem. [21] Often referred to as " rabbi", [21] Jesus preaches his message orally. [26] Notably, Jesus forbids those who recognize him as the messiah to speak of it, including people he heals and demons he exorcises (see Messianic Secret). [157] Szczerbowski, Tadeusz (1998).

In Mark, Jesus is the Son of God whose mighty works demonstrate the presence of God's Kingdom. [62] He is a tireless wonder worker, the servant of both God and man. [86] This short gospel records few of Jesus' words or teachings. [62] The Gospel of Matthew emphasizes that Jesus is the fulfillment of God's will as revealed in the Old Testament, and the Lord of the Church. [87] He is the " Son of David", a "king", and the messiah. [86] [88] Luke presents Jesus as the divine-human savior who shows compassion to the needy. [89] He is the friend of sinners and outcasts, come to seek and save the lost. [86] This gospel includes well-known parables, such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son. [89]

Jesus as Rabbi and the Teachings of the Pharisees

It is this difference between being a Jew ethnically and religiously that lies behind Paul’s statement in Romans 2:28-29: “For he is not a real Jew who is one outwardly, nor is true circumcision something external and physical. He is a Jew who is one inwardly, and real circumcision is a matter of the heart, spiritual and not literal.” Andreopoulos, A. (2005).

The Gospels comprise brief self-contained passages, or pericopēs (from the Greek word meaning “cut around”), relating to Jesus. Further study reveals that the authors of the Synoptic Gospels moved the pericopes around, altering the contexts to suit their own editorial policies—for example, by arranging the pericopes according to subject matter. In chapters 8 and 9, Matthew collects 10 healing pericopes, with a few other passages interspersed. Mark and Luke contain most of those passages, but their arrangements are different. Matthew put all those healings in one place, whereas Mark and Luke scattered them but in different ways. Since the authors of the Gospels rearranged the material to suit their own needs, it must be assumed that earlier Christian teachers had also organized stories about Jesus didactically. That means that the sequence of events in Jesus’ ministry is unknown. Köstenberger, Andreas J. (2009). "Translating John's Gospel: Challenges and Opportunities".

The notion that Jesus rejected Judaism and Jewish observances developed in the decades after the crucifixion. Christian supersessionism has not only fed into negative perceptions of Jews and Judaism since antiquity, but has also incited violence against Jews.
