The more I listen to Dr. Tabor, the more I see that Jesus was greatly affected by the death of John the Baptist. I think it was a very strong motivation for his mission.
The motivation for His mission is written all over the Old Testament. Every thing in the Old Testament points to Jesus and his being crucified and rising again. The only reason for animal sacrifice was to point to the real one
To love God (keep his commandments) is greater than sacrifices. This was taught when Saul ordered the soldiers to sacrifice the animals of their enemies when God had commanded them to destroy everything. God reprimanded Saul and said “To obey is better than to sacrifice.” God commanded the people in the Law of Moses to repent before offering sacrifices. They were sacrificing without repenting.
Thank you, Dr. Tabor. I have been going to your web site for a number of years at Easter time. I studied all that I could and had inklings of what you present. Your work makes me understand what I vaguely glimpsed. And some of your ideas took a while for me to grasp, but in the end, they make a lot of sense to understand the historic Jesus.
Jesus said it, he was the king of the Jews, not a messiah. He was from the bloodline of David and Solomon and did not approve of the Jews religion. I don’t know all the details, he made a mistake, free will. Paul is a liar. I can’t listen to this. I have to find the truth in time.
Fascinating, "A person with a poor and contrite heart -That's True Religion". Better than all the external offerings and sacrifices of the temple. Thank you, Dr. James Tabor. Listening to you strengthens my Faith in Jesus Christ and the Bible even more. Mark is presenting the True Gospel. Watched the series from Day 1 to 3, and I learned so many insights.🔥 Thank you for sharing your "scholarly" knowledge to build the Church. Looking forward to Day 4. 🙏
1 Samuel 15: 22 And Samuel said, Hath the Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of the Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.
Thanks, Dr. Tabor, for emphasizing the contrast between the poor widow and the disciples admiring the richness and grandeur (glory) of the Temple. One cannot help but also note Mark 12:40 and these religious teachers [of the Law] devouring the houses of these poor widows. Which reminds one of the televangelists of our own day, although Mark probably has in mind widow money given to the Poor (the Jerusalem church teachers of the Law and zealots of the Law, who carried the bag John 12:6, Gal 2:10).
12:00 an interesting parallel to this is the version in the gospel of Thomas, which is sayings 65 and 66. In gThom, there are only three representatives, with the third being the son. It's actually a neater version than even gMark imho. Also, the gThom version also closes with Jesus quoting psalm 117, and I've always wondered about the connection between the wicked tenants and the stone the builders discarded.
Right. Any discussion of replacing Rome was met with execution. Jesus knew this but his faith in god and prophecy betrayed him. Thus, “My god why have you forsaken me?”. His death truly destroyed Rome at the end of the day. Maybe not in the way he intended
...if you replaced "his faith in god" with "his Delusional 'Jerusalem Syndrome'-Grade belief that HE was the "Son of god" -- and we'd be in TOTAL agreement... "Failed Prophecies & Broken Promises" That final, anguished cry* issued by Juh-HEEZ-Zuss from the cross as his life drained-away, strike ee as the someone who has momentarily "Come to his Senses" -- as a Plea / Demand for his "Invisible Sky-Daddy" to KEEP His Promise(s) "Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?" which interprets to: "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
This whole series has been fantastic, all commentary is spot on, the kind you only get after decades of serious study and reflection. Thank you Dr. Tabor for your work and service to history and the world.
Im patiently waiting to hear how you will handle Mark 14:50-52. Ill either hit the bell or unsubscribe. So far it sounds like youre not going to handle it to my satisfaction...
Deuteronomy 26: 12 ¶ When thou hast made an end of tithing all the tithes of thine increase the third year, which is the year of tithing, and hast given it unto the Levite, the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, that they may eat within thy gates, and be filled; 13 Then thou shalt say before the Lord thy God, I have brought away the hallowed things out of mine house, and also have given them unto the Levite, and unto the stranger, to the fatherless, and to the widow, according to all thy commandments which thou hast commanded me: I have not transgressed thy commandments, neither have I forgotten them:
"render unto Caesar" is Mark 12:17 repackaging Paul in Romans 13:6-8. Mark uses the same Greek word "apodidomi - render" as Paul. Paul would have been in trouble with the Zealots of the Jerusalem church (hypocritical separatists or Pharisees, and Judas Sicariots) if he advocated tribute to Rome. And yet if Paul tried to please men (the Jerusalem church), then he would have been in trouble with the pro-Roman Herodians. Mark 12:31 follows this up with "loving your neighbor" even as Paul does.
Mar 11:27-28 And they came again to Jerusalem. And as he was walking in the temple, the chief priests and the scribes and the elders came to him, and they said to him, "By what authority are you doing these things, or who gave you this authority to do them?" This reads as if it were an eyewitness account. But knowing Mark, Mark probably intends this as a parable for Paul. The chief priests, and scribes, and elders of the Jerusalem church question Paul why he is teaching the things he is teaching, and by what authority he does this. Paul's difficulties in Jerusalem on his last Passover are projected onto Jesus. Even if there may be some historical details about the historical Jesus, Marks purpose is still a polemic directed against the Jerusalem church for rejecting Paul and Paul's Jesus Christ and choosing instead Jesus Barabbas. It goes without saying the Roman appointed Temple priests would not have chosen the insurrectionist Jesus Barabbas, nor would Pilate have released him. But the zealot Jerusalem church chief priests, and scribes, and elders would have chosen Barabbas. It is a parable.
Thanks for the encouragement. Gustav Volkmar in 1857 and later in 1876 pointed out that Mark is mainly writing a parable about Paul (the sower that went out to sow) and the polemic is directed against the "wicked husbandmen" of the Jerusalem church and their world ruling gospel the Apocalypse, and their Jesus Barabbas. They blew Volkmar off at the time, but the discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls, and Robert Eisenman's James the Brother of Jesus more or less confirm that Volkmar was correct.
Genesis 49: 10 The sceptre shall not depart from aJudah, nor a lawgiver from between his feet, until Shiloh come; and unto him shall the gathering of the people be. Ezekiel 21: 25 ¶ And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end, 26 Thus saith the Lord God; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high. 27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

The statement had dicotonemy and parrallesm as even to HIM self who had not 10 but 12 commandments to give to GOD 1.

Maybe when you use Josepheus as a sourcr you should mention he does not believe Daniel 9:27 is about Jesus, he does not believe the book is divine, and he thought it was a contemporary king/emperor. So I can see how an atheist would like Josepheus but maybe inform your audience that your sources sre heavily biased as well.
Quick question: you refer to supposed relation of John and Jesus, which is in another gospel, not Mark if i remember correctly. In doing so aren't you at risk of harmonizing the texts yourself?
Ditto mention of Lazarus and Martha in Bethany. (Matt and Luke). Bothered me, enough to interfere with listening for a bit. Well, pardner, I think we may come from the same quadrant on a Meyer-Briggs survey. 🤪
The fourth gospel covers the last week extremely well. If John were the author then everything John did should be in it. The fourth gospel says that Jesus sent two disciples to prepare the room for the last supper. Luke says the two disciples were Peter and John.
I wonder what the priests had seen and what they believed. We know they hated Jesus even though He had confirmed by The Scriptures that He was The Messiah.
Ending the sacrifice of chosen species, chosen peoples, and messiah candidates is what it's all about. That is the ultimate defeat of the "whack-a-messiah" destroy to build back "better" adversary. We finally won day 7 of creation by completing the Gaia experiment and raising a fully awakened Messiah - an incarnation of God, but there's much left to do in the remaining 5 days of creation as we clean out the hive mind nests of the adversary and send them back to their "source"
I don't see how anyone can use the Gospels as the basis for historical accounts. They are mythic literary historical fiction with mostly some elements of actual actions, speech and behavior of Jesus thrown in as well as perhaps some real events but which ones we do not know. The trial before Pilate in public most likely never happened and Rome would not execute someone or do the bidding of the Jews over Jewish theological issues. ("Blasphemy".) they could careless. The idea Pilate capitulated to a Jewish crowd and released a known Zealot is preposterous. Jesus spoke openly about a "kingdom" that was not Rome, and that he was its Divine representative, not Rome or Caesar. Throw in some minor disturbances and game over.
i 100% agree with you. James is so gullible. claiming that Jesus and John the baptist where related because the last gospel claims they where cousins. written like 100 years later after his death. the writer is clearly trying to unite the 2 groups of followers.q and he teaches this to his students. omg...
@@Marabarra94 John is almost 100% mythology with almost no historical events. It really is for Jews a form of Paganism. The idea they were cousins is nonsense. As a **faith document* it has some value because some passages are beautifully written but not as an historical one.
@e.t.ethics1771 Both are built on mythic elements sometimes in interpretation of history, sometimes just as myth. All of Genesis is myth but myths sometimes have important things to teach us. Because ancient people thought and expressed more in mythic terms does not mean they were less intelligent. It just means we cannot use our materialist-rational framework to evaluate those expressions, AND *not* to take them literally or think they are historically reliable.
Jesus and John where related? come on James get a grip. this is too gullible. that's only mentioned in the 4 gospel the gospel of John is trying to unite the followers of John with the christian cult. incredible how gullible a scholar can be. taking the gospel of John literally schoking...
He says “that’s our tradition.” I don’t think that implies he believes they were actually cousins. I have listened to a lot of Dr. Tabor’s material, he never matter-of-factly states his beliefs. He is giving his scholarly opinion based on his career in the field and his research.

James Tabor stopped me getting baptised. Thank you.
I don’t think Jesus risked his life just to end animal sacrifice. His mission had a greater purpose.
It did. Agreed. Could even be that he was looking towards an overall reform of Judaism
It's part of it though.
I'm pretty sure it was more of a political movement. The elites had been buying up land by cheating people with taxes and interest.
Jesus sacrificed a weekend
Isn't that exactly what Tabor said in this podcast?
