Description:PrefaceToday, there is a great debate amongst many scholars as to whether the man referred to as “Jesus of Nazareth” was a real person from history. Before He was known as “Jesus,” the leaders of Israel called Him “Yeshu.” (ישו in Hebrew and Aramaic). It is from this oldest reference to Jesus, which was recorded in the Talmud that we find some of the most compelling evidence for the historical reality of Jesus’ existence in Jerusalem, during the period set forth by the four gospels.When we arrive at the New Testament and discover that both the Bible and Secular history corroborate that Jesus of Nazareth was sentenced to death under the authority of Pontius Pilate, we have great confidence that His identity is certain.Today, the world’s leading scholars agree that the crucifixion of Jesus is an established fact of history that is indisputable.[1] In truth, the events of the scourging and crucifixion are described as ranking so high in certainty that they are considered by experts as irrefutable and the very basis for a conclusion that Jesus of Nazareth lived, died, and rose from the dead, as the New Testament records.[2] The orders of Pontius Pilate to have Jesus scourged and crucified are documented by one of the greatest Roman historians ever to write on this period—Tacitus.[3]As early as the second century, Tacitus writes in his “Annals” of the Roman Empire, 116 A.D. (Annals 15,44) that under Caesar Nero, Pilate ordered the execution of Jesus of Nazareth by crucifixion.[4]“Nero fastened the guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus.”This record of Jesus’ execution by crucifixion under Pontius Pilate, written by Tacitus, is of immense value for the historicity of Jesus Christ. Being an independent source from both the Roman government and the Biblical text, Tacitus authenticates the narrative of the four gospels—that Jesus was scourged and crucified exactly as the Gospels describe.[5] Scholars today confirm that the crucifixion of Jesus is a matter of historical fact, equal to any other event of antiquity.[6] Even those who are regarded as scholars who do not believe in the deity of Jesus Christ regard the scourging and crucifixion as actual events that can be proven from extra-biblical sources.[7]The scriptures of the Jews confirm that a record of history was noted in their scrolls regarding the events described in the four gospel accounts of the disciples of Jesus. [8]The most ancient of Hebrew references to Jesus of Nazareth are found in the Tosefta and Talmud, supporting the historicity of His existence as a genuine person from history, who was crucified under Pontius Pilate.[9]Later publications of certain rabbis alleged that the name “Yeshu” was used by the Jews at the time of Jesus to avoid pronouncing His name. This allegation has been proven untrue by archeological discoveries confirming that this term was being utilized by other men during that same time period. The record of history bears witness that the name “Yeshu” was made use of by the leaders of Israel in order to distinguish Jesus of Nazareth from other men who also were known as “Joshua,” during that period of history.[10]There are a few obscure references to the name Yeshu as a derogatory reference by the leaders of Israel, for Jesus, in the form of an acronym for the formula (ימח שמו וזכרו(נו (Y'mach Sh'mo V'Zichro, "may his name and memory be obliterated.”[11] If this is confirmed, it also lends authority to the fact that Jesus is a real person from history who the Jews of that time hated intensely—in confirmation of the prophecies of the Old Testament—which predicted their hatred for the Messiah upon His arrival in Jerusalem.In Prophecy 167:[12] The Messiah is described as a stumbling stone for the religious leaders of Israel.Isaiah 8:14 He will be as a sanctuary, But a stone of stumbling and a rock of offense To both the houses of Israel, As a trap and a snare to the inhabitants of Jerusalem.A further citation of the name Yeshu is from the acronym of “yishtabach shemo vezikhro” meaning “may his name and memory be praised.”Whether the name Yeshu was used in terms of worship or derision, history records that the designation, Yeshu, was certainly attached to Jesus of Nazareth, by the leaders of Israel, during the time period in which the four gospels attribute His presence in Israel. The name Yeshu is perhaps the oldest confirming evidence from secular history that Jesus of Nazareth was in fact present in Jerusalem during the period which the New Testament narrative claims that He was there.Yeshu from the TalmudA surprising source for Jesus’ crucifixion comes from the Babylonian Talmud-Sanhedrin 43a, Soncino edition. ...We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
