Jesus challenged the Jewish leadership in the land known today as Israel. He was arrested and accused of blasphemy, by the testimony of false witnesses, who miss quoted his teachings about the destruction and re building of the temple, along with many other statements. These are some of the events that Jesus challenged the Jewish leadership on.
Joh 2:13 And the Jews' Passover was at hand, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem,
Joh 2:14 And found in the temple those that sold oxen and sheep and doves, and the changers of money sitting:
Joh 2:15 And when he had made a scourge of small cords, he drove them all out of the temple, and the sheep, and the oxen; and poured out the changers' money, and overthrew the tables;
Joh 2:16 And said unto them that sold doves, Take these things hence; make not my Father's house an house of merchandise.
The Jews not unlike a stock market were changing worshipers hard earned money into lesser amounts of temple money.For a modern example of this practice, the value of $10 was converted into $5 of temple money and the rest was kept as profit. The animals for sacrifice were likewise being sold, at inflated prices. Jesus anger at these practices was evident to all those who witnessed it, including the Religious state leadership of the time.
He was accused of tax evasion. Master, we know that thou art true, and carest for no man: for thou regardest not the person of men, but teachest the way of God in truth: Is it lawful to give tribute to Caesar, or not?
Mar 12:15 Shall we give, or shall we not give? But he, knowing their hypocrisy, said unto them, Why tempt ye me? bring me a penny, that I may see it.
Mar 12:16 And they brought it. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? And they said unto him, Caesar's.
Mar 12:17 And Jesus answering said unto them, Render to Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and to God the things that are God's. And they marvelled at him.
The Jews had formulated their own law (the Talmud) during the Babylonian captivity not the law they had been given. Jesus challenged them about caring for their parents.
Mar 7:10 For Moses said, Honour thy father and thy mother; and, Whoso curseth father or mother, let him die the death:
Mar 7:11 But ye say, If a man shall say to his father or mother, It is Corban, that is to say, a gift, by whatsoever thou mightest be profited by me; he shall be free.
Mar 7:12 And ye suffer him no more to do ought for his father or his mother;
By making a monetary gift to the temple, they were absolving their obligation to care for their parents, as a result many older people, who no longer were able to care for themselves died. Perhaps the modern name for this practice is called nursing homes.
Jesus bought back to life Lazarus a man who had been dead for four days. Joh 12:9 Much people of the Jews therefore knew that he was there: and they came not for Jesus' sake only, but that they might see Lazarus also, whom he had raised from the dead. (If this story was a myth, why did they come to see Lazarus)
Joh 12:10 But the chief priests consulted that they might put Lazarus also to death;
Not only put Jesus to death but also Lazarus who had died once already, just to keep control of the people.
Even before Jesus was born Herod massacred all the babies of Bethlehem to try to kill Jesus, who he knew from the stars and the astrologers to be the Messiah. (ruthless and void of empathy)
Mat 2:16 Then Herod, when he saw that he was mocked of the wise men, was exceeding wroth, and sent forth, and slew all the children that were in Bethlehem, and in all the coasts thereof, from two years old and under, according to the time which he had diligently enquired of the wise men.
As the Jews today, still hate and seek to discredit Jesus teachings, it's not hard to see that very little has changed.
If today this battle against oppression continues and many of these instances can be found on a world wide scale.
Surely Jesus should be a hero of this struggle, not I figure of ridicule, as he is often presented even on this Forum.
If he couldn't be silenced by his execution, then he wins in the end. This statement was made by him after he was glorified.
Revelation 3:9 Behold, I will make them of the synagogue of Satan, which say they are Jews, and are not, but do lie; behold, I will make them to come and worship before thy feet, and to know that I have loved thee.
Semitic means descendants of Noah's son Shem. The Ashkenazi Jews of Israel today are decedents of Ham Noah's other son they are not Semitic at all. I have added this picture from Babylon to prove the Babylonian captivity of the Jews before the barrage of contrary info begins.
