And many followers of Jesus said that Jesus was God, not God Himself, so ...
It's actually a wonder any prophet lived in the bible, given that false prophets who spoke falsely should be killed. I mean, lots of "prophecies" didn't happen, so ...
Except that even the Romans hated the historical Pilate and this story is not in character at all. Plus "the Jews" couldn't choose squat, because they had no power over such things.
Jesus, if I recall, threw a temper tantrum and started a riot at the Temple. The Romans needed far less than that to want him dead.
They were living in a lush land and were dragged out into Nowheresville on the order of an exiled murderer and religious terrorist. I'd be angry too.
They didn't kill Moses, though. I can't really think of any prophets "they" killed. Got names?
"I can't really think of any prophets "they" killed. Got names?"
There is a clue from Jesus:
King James Bible 23:23-38
23Woe unto you, scribes and , hypocrites! for ye pay tithe of mint and anise and cummin, and have omitted the weightier
matters of the law, judgment, mercy, and faith: these ought ye to have done, and not to leave the other undone.
24Ye blind guides, which strain at a gnat, and swallow a camel.
25Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
26Thou blind Pharisee, cleanse first that
which is within the cup and platter, that the outside of them may be clean also.
27Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye are like unto whited sepulchres, which indeed appear beautiful outward, but are within full of dead
men's bones, and of all uncleanness.
28Even so ye also outwardly appear righteous unto men, but within ye are full of hypocrisy and iniquity.
29Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! because ye build the tombs of the prophets, and garnish the sepulchres of the righteous,
30And say, If we had been in the days of our fathers, we would not have been partakers with them in the blood of the prophets.
31Wherefore ye be witnesses unto yourselves, that ye are the children of them which killed the prophets.
32Fill ye up then the measure of your fathers.
33Ye serpents,
ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of hell?
34Wherefore, behold, I send unto you prophets, and wise men, and scribes: and
some of them ye shall kill and crucify; and
some of them shall ye scourge in your synagogues, and persecute
them from city to city:
35That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
36Verily I say unto you, All these things shall come upon this generation.
37O Jerusalem, Jerusalem,
thou that killest the prophets, and stonest them which are sent unto thee, how often would I have gathered thy children together, even as a hen gathereth her chickens under
her wings, and ye would not!
38Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
39For I say unto you, Ye shall not see me henceforth, till ye shall say, Blessed
is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.
Matthew 23 KJV
