About this listen
In this book, I discuss the life and times of Jesus based on the Bible and the works of religious scholars, researchers, authors, and spiritual teachers. The focus of this book is to show how Jesus, through his teachings, caused the members of the Sanhedrin great concern as his followers began to increase.
Jesus was different because, unlike most of the others, he did not encourage an uprising against Rome, who had conquered Jerusalem in 63 BC. His threat was against the evil leaders of the Jews, the Sanhedrin, those he referred to when he spoke of the Scribes and Pharisees. He threatened their power over the Jews by questioning their lack of understanding of the scriptures.
Jesus called them to repentance for their pompous, prideful, and phony pious as they exalted them above others, including the angels and prophets of old. His message of love, compassion, and forgiveness, and his miracles of healing the sick, giving sight to the blind, feeding thousands with a few fishes and loaves of bread, and raising Lazarus from the dead began turning the people toward Jesus and away from the Sanhedrin. For the Sanhedrin, it was Man Against Messiah.
