Deep dives
The Role of Jewish Authorities in Jesus' Trial
Divisions among the Jewish authorities were significant regarding Jesus' trial, with some supporting his death while others opposed it. Notable figures like Joseph of Arimathea and Nicodemus indicate that there were differing beliefs even among the Pharisees. This lack of consensus highlights that not all Jewish leaders were unanimously hostile towards Jesus, and many later became believers after his resurrection. Understanding this complexity is crucial to accurately reflecting the church's position that Jews should not be collectively blamed for Jesus' death.
