I find this to be, in a word, brilliant... It is the most cogent version of Jesus's last days I have ever heard, supported as it is by expert scholarship both textual and archaeological, and yet not lacking at all in emotional impact. Thanks and congratulations to Dr. Tabor!

Your in-depth way of covering these topics has helped me to reread the texts in a much deeper way.

Putting all the pieces together. Thank you.

Dr. James Tabor congratulations with the thorough excellent presentation with the extensive studies as a credible historian your years of studying and teaching speaks high volume of your valuable profession. Thank you so very much for your work.

Brilliant, great and wonderful. Some of my fellow Christians seem to think that Jesus consciously fulfilling the prophecies is a form of cheating, but to me it only increases the credibility of the story. It wasn't magic. It was the fulfillment of a plan.

Perfect Short Doc. perfect

Brilliant Dr. Tabor.

3:45 This last Chanukah I learned that all the bricks from the cleaning of the Holy of Holies were in Solomon's portico. The tradition was that the messiah was to tell people what to do with the bricks for the bricks had seen the glory of G_d but had pigs blood on them. This was their poop test that the messiah had to pass. And messiah said what about all the other things you have seen? Well that wasn't good enough. Anyhow that brought great _illumination_ to me concerning John 10:20. This video with the pictures adds great geographical context. Thank you.

Dr. Tabor makes all of these things come alive again.

That's a beautiful valley

Hello - Prior to the Crucifixion, Jesus had healed the son of Pilate. He was therefore removed from the Cross before He could die, and by arrangement passed into the hands of His uncle Joseph of Arimathaea, a wonderful herbal doctor, who treated Him for three days, after which He rose and lived to be 80. The Lord was never meant to be murdered. GOD was horrified. We can only save ourselves through karma and repeated incarnations we have all signed up for. Blessings - RevDrD/Ministry

The classic question: How do you get three days and three nights out of the schedule that you are describing? This problem is perfectly solved by shifting your schedule back one day. The full three days and three nights are accounted for; the two sabbaths that week are accounted for; Jesus and the Passover lamb are both chosen on the seventh day; and Jesus is resurrected on the seventh day. Also note: tracing back the astronomical calendar matches this view.

March 31 would be the 16th of Nisan, a DAY AFTER the Passover Feast!

The problem is, there WASN'T any village on the Kidron Hills!! The villages were on the hill BEHIND them, to the East! The MISlocation that the place where Jesus found a donkey to ride on his "triumphal" entry into Jerusalem was on one of the mounts of the olive orchard is intended as a corollary to mounting the ass as an "ANOINTED" king; like David who rode one OUT of the city over the Kidron Hills when fleeing from his son Absalom.

The alternative "Last Days of Jesus": Jesus was IN Jerusalem during the Roman seige of the city and going around the top of the 🧱s yelling out "Woe Woe Woe unto Jerusalem!" until he finally saw the catapault ballista coming at him and cried out "Woe unto Jerusalem and the Temple and Woe even unto me!!!" before being HIT and KILLED by it.

Passover would have been moved to the evening of Friday in order to coincide with the Sabbath. This was done so that the preparation for major holidays and the Sabbath could happen at the same time. The reason that the Passover was not on Wednesday, like it is in 2023, is that Rosh Hoshanna is always 163 days from NIsan 15, which would make Tishrei 1 in 30 CE the Gregorian date of September 17. The Last Supper is not a Seder because it was in the "upper room". Israelites ate the Passover meal on the 1st floor so they could be closer to the holiness of Jerusalem.

- Jesus was announced as king of Israel in that choice between Jesus and Barabbas. Quickly said, Pilot dressed Jesus up as King, Pilot presented Jesus to the Sanhedrin and high priest among the crowd as "their King". Told the crowd to choose to crucify "their King" or Barabbas. The Saducees and High Priest chose "their king" Jesus to be crucified and instigated the Jewish crowd to choose "their King" to be crucified..... and so the Priesthood anointed Jesus as their king in order for him to be executed. And Pilat published this fact above Jesus head at a time when Jerusalem was most crowded of Jews from all over the realm. What this accomplished was to legalize according to Torah law Jesus' amended covenant and make irrelevant all burdensome Talmudic rules. I think Jesus and Pilat planned it together. Neet trick on the Sanhedrin huh.

There’s so many OT Easter Eggs.

Joh 10:24 So the Jews gathered around him and said to him, “How long will you keep us in suspense? If you are the Christ, tell us plainly.” Joh 10:25 Jesus answered them, “I told you, and you do not believe. The works that I do in my Father's name bear witness about me, Joh 10:26 but you do not believe because you are not among my sheep. Joh 10:27 My sheep hear my voice, and I know them, and they follow me. Joh 10:28 I give them eternal life, and they will never perish, and no one will snatch them out of my hand. The enemies of Jesus in the account were NOT the Romans who basically couldn't care less about the Jewish belief system but rather observed some of the Jewish religious right for the sake of keeping peace. We can see in the account of Pilate confronting Jesus that Pilate considered Jesus an 'innocent man' and did what he could to bring about the release of Jesus. It was pressure from the Jews who demanded that Jesus be crucified that finally brought him to the point of complying with their demands, not because he or Rome in general had any concern with a man calling himself the messiah. The biblical account supports all this. Pilate choosing to put a sign above Jesus on the cross saying, 'King of the Jews' was in order to show his disdain for the Jews and their petty complaints (in his mind) regarding the so called 'guilt' of Jesus. In fact we can read in the account that they demanded that he remove the sign. He refused to remove it.

@@johnnycourville1922 That's incorrect. The enemies of Jesus were the Jews. Clearly. The Romans were at war with the Jews, not Jesus. Pilate sought to release him. Pilate stated: Joh_18:38 Pilate said to him, “What is truth?” After he had said this, he went back outside to the Jews and told them, “I find no guilt in him. Joh_19:4 Pilate went out again and said to them, “See, I am bringing him out to you that you may know that I find no guilt in him.” Joh_19:6 When the chief priests and the officers saw him, they cried out, “Crucify him, crucify him!” Pilate said to them, “Take him yourselves and crucify him, for I find no guilt in him.” The Jews did try to get Jesus to say or do something rebellious toward Rome but He didn't fall for it. Jesus told the Jews to pay taxes to Rome. The Romans were pagans who worshipped and concerned themselves with Pagan gods. They had no concerns about Jewish traditions, laws, or messiahs. Herod was concerned about Jesus possibly taking his power, but not Rome. Read Josephus. The conflict was between the Jews and the Romans over political power and control of Palestine. Jesus was merely a footnote. All that said, the Jewish community has been condemned, attacked over the centuries for bringing about the death of Jesus as we can read in the new testament, and wishes to do everything it can to deflect the blame to Rome. It's true that Rome performed the crucifiction because the Jews were forbidden to carry out the death penalty on anyone as per Roman rules. I'm sure you've read the biblical account of how the Jews insisted that Jesus be crucified so you don't need me to quote all that to you. Jews don't want the blame for it today so again they point the finger at Rome as being the ones that were motivated to kill Jesus. It's not true. I don't blame the Jews for what happened. The biblical account clearly shows that Jesus was born to die on the cross for sins, but that's really only going to be the perspective of Christian believers of which I am one. Those who are not believers will point to the human element and of course blame the Jews. The NT teaches that Jesus was destined to be the sacrificial lamb before the creation of the World. Predestined. It couldn't, it wouldn't have happened any other way.

@@johnnycourville1922 No, what we know of as the contents of the New Testament were all written during the first century. They were passed round by the Christian congregations and copied for 300 years. The Christian church was underground in Rome due to persecution by Rome much later than the time of Christ. It wasn't until Constantine decided to adopt Christianity during the 4th century that the Roman Church was born. The Roman church didn't invent the bible. 300 years my friend is a very long time, and the church thrived and grew during that time even though being persecuted. Constantine thought he experience a miracle connected with Christianity during a battle. He also wanted to increase the size of his empire, his political power so he worked to integrate the Christians. Rome was a pagan based society and during that fourth century perverted the Roman version of the church he invented by blending the Roman gods with the Christian story. It's how we got Christmas, Easter, and worship of Mary replacing a goddess with her worship. Regarding Jesus being a Jew, that was true, but one merely do a casual read of the NT to see that he was largely rejected by Judaism and only a remnant of the Jews followed him. The rest were in strong opposition to Him due to his claiming to be God. I'm sorry , but if you seek to toss out the New Testament and think you can claim to understand 1st, 2nd, and 3rd century Christianity you have no foundation for it, no documentation. Rome was very late to the Christian party (300 years). One thing you might consider is how hard the Roman church worked to keep the bible OUT OF THE HANDs of the common man. From very early on the RCC perverted the gospel and still does down to this day. it's common internet lore, and RCC teaching that Rome established Christianity, but that's just rhetoric. What has happened is that the Christian Church has survived 'in spite of the RCC'. I'm sorry but you're not working with an accurate version of Christian history, or of Christ. The bible is the best source of information about Jesus. OT ( the promise and the timeline for His arrival) and NT (the story of the life and events surrounding the messiah).

That's quite the conspiracy theory you've come up with Dr. Tabor. I'll give you an A for imagination:-)
