  • In this video, a excerpt from the Mass Readings Explained, Dr. Brant Pitre discusses Jesus' first "homily" or "sermon" in a synagogue in Nazareth. After reading from Isaiah 61, Jesus sits down and tells the audience that Isaiah reading has been fulfilled in their hearing, the first time Jesus makes an explicit attestation to his Messianic identity. Dr. Pitre also gives insight into what synagogues were like as well as what the expectation was for the Jubilee year, when the Messiah would come.
    Notable excerpt:
    "Another little side note, this is why Jesus is going to get into conflict with the Pharisees so much in the gospels. Have you ever wondered why he’s always bumping heads with the Pharisees? It’s not because the Pharisees were priests. They weren’t priests either; they were laymen who mastered the scriptures and who studied the traditions of the fathers and they ran the show in the synagogues. So if Jesus’ custom was to go about preaching in the synagogues, the first people he’s going to come into conflict
    with aren’t the priests in the temple of Jerusalem, it’s the Pharisees, the lay people in the synagogues who were used to preaching and teaching tradition of the fathers, then Jesus steps in and he blows them all out of the water."

    These videos are great! Priests should incorporate this sort of thing in their homilies on Sunday. We need to increase the depth of our knowledge concerning our faith.

      @Fraevo - A lot of the priests would have been Pharisees and some would have been Sadducees, the High Priest Caiaphas for example was a Sadducee. Many of the priests/pharisees converted to christianity(Acts6:7, Acts15:5).

      (1) Where are you getting your data? Do Pliny, Tacitus, Josephus and Lucian not count for some reason? Are they off the table for some reason similar to why the New Testament is being removed?
      (2) Do you ask the same of Pontius Pilate, for virtually the same list of references above for him exist for Jesus? If not, why not for Pontius and why for Jesus? I don't mean that in any type of snarky way -- I simply ask you to consider your motivation if you don't equally question Pilate's existence or any other figure in history for which there is equal or lesser attestations than that of Jesus? Simply because Jesus performed actions Pilate did not, for example, does not make the bar higher or lower for his historical existence to be affirmed or denied.
      (3) I think what you may be asking for is some type of tome about Jesus outside of the New Testament or the Gospels, when those are certainly the most lengthy attestations to his existence. It's bizarre that some would ask to have the core data removed from the table of consideration (especially when the gospel writers tell you what their intention is in writing the gospels, and as such indicate the genre of their writing) and then ask for the data they just removed from consideration to be provided. Do keep in mind, moreover, that the New Testament is a compilation of multiple attestations to the existence of Jesus. It's not as if there is 1 human author to the books of the Bible or the New Testament specifically. Rather than seeing the Bible as a singular testament to the existence of Jesus, I fail to see why it's not seen as multiple affirmations to what you seek? Indeed, Paul, a murderer of Christians should close the case for you if you suspect the early persecuted Christians facebook messaged one another with the same story to act as a corroboration whilst concomitantly giving them the chutzpah to go out and die (or, at minimum, speak in Jesus' name in an environment that got others killed) for said story when they just didn't believe he never existed, but that they KNEW he didn't exist.

      @@CatholicProductions , The thing is that there is no reliable data about Jesus. Pliny, Tacitus, Josephus and Lucian never met Jesus - they got the information about Jesus from the early christians. So the information was already biased.
      Secondary occuerencies such as Herod's child killing and the new born star is also missing from the history books. Very suspisious.
      It's not interesting whether Ponitus Pilates ever lived. He was no extraordinary person. Just a leader.
      Christianity is most likely a version of the more sophisticated Essene sect (300 B.C. to 70 A.D.). According to Josephus, the Essenes were mostly pacifist, ascetic, celibate and had a 'great teacher'. Josephus actually met the Essens. But the authors of the new testament 'forgot' to mention the Essens together with the Pharisees and the Sadducees
