To clarify the background in different gospels the crux of the story is that the Jewish priests and elders of the Sanhedrin accused Jesus of blasphemy,…

The hebrew people originated from the polytheistic and animistic semitic tribes in Mesopotamia. With the covenant promising Abraham’s people a “promised land” in Canaan, the Hebrews migrated from their homeland in Mesopotamia to Canaan. The second covenant was made hundreds of years later, when Moses lead the jewish people out of slavery in Egypt.…
