I am wary of this "developed theology" if it isn't what Jesus gave his church.
It is the theology of the author of John, whether it be John the son of Zebedee or a Presbyter John, or another who is the 'beloved disciple'.

Remember when Jesus went to the temple and before that when speaking to the religious leaders.I think a nice example of a developed theology was given by King
David ca 1000 BC in his Psalm 22 - the crucified Messiah who died
his people. Another example of a developed theology was Isaiah 53
with the suffering Messiah offered up as the lamb of God.
Developed theology is nice.

In context, Jesus condemned some religious leaders. Either Jesus was right or he was not right. So, taking things in context, we make choices as to what we adhere to, stick to, and believe, religiously and scientifically. Unless, of course, we can't make any decision about beliefs and practices.What specifically do you want me to remember?

This is a Christian reading of Hebrew Prophets.
I think you're being hyperbolic. Are you sure it was daily?What was happening is what they read daily in their scriptures.
Just consider... the story in Zechariah was known... so riding on a donkey is nothing more than recreating a scene...Jews will mourn because this Messiah king is the same
one who came to them lowly upon an ***, the one they crucified. Zechariah said
this about 450 years before Jesus came.

It's not in Zech 12, are you talking about 13:6?Seems the forum didn't like my use of the word a.s.s.
This:
Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy King cometh unto
thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an a.s.s, and upon a colt the foal of an a.s.s.
Zech 9:9
It doesn't stay a white stallion, or a gilded chariot or litter. The connection to the donkey clearly signifies
some sort of humility.
The second reference I think is in Zech 12. This speaks of His hands and feet pierced. And the Jewish
nation mourning because they had done this.
This was written ca 520 BC. You should take that on board.
Yes, but, ... well... here's what you said:Well, I think they were taught to read their scripture daily.
Yes, but, ... well... here's what you said:
"It was a Jewish reading too, when many Jews saw Jesus suffering on the cross.
What was happening is what they read daily in their scriptures.
Says of Jesus' second coming that He will conquer His enemies and reign in
righteousness, and the Jews will mourn because this Messiah king is the same
one who came to them lowly upon an ***, the one they crucified. Zechariah said
this about 450 years before Jesus came."
The elements of the Torah that Christians understand to be talking about Jesus would not be read daily... far from it. They're too distant in the canon and too infrequent. 'Daily' at best is an exaggeration, hyperbolic.
It's not in Zech 12, are you talking about 13:6?
That's for example Jesus having a dialogue with the twelve at the dinner table and constantly speaking in long monologs. And that recorded 60 or more years after the actual event.What's this "worked out theology" ?
