the people into idolatry. 546<br />

In 70 BCE, forty days after his messianic proclamation, the<br />

Sanhedrin imprisoned Y'shua for forty days, flogged him for sedition,<br />

stoned him for blasphemy and crucified him. This was in Lud, Ludd,<br />

Lydd or Lydda, a town about 25 miles from Jerusalem.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Rabbis valued the law and always investigated their sources<br />

meticulously. <strong>The</strong>y attributed great authority and antiquity to the Toledot<br />

Yeshu, also called the Sepher Toldos Jeschu. Ideas contained within this<br />

blasphemous tract can be traced to Celsus’ second century CE attack on<br />

Christianity through Origen’s rebuttal in the middle of the third century<br />

CE.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Toledot Yeshu was only removed from the Talmud in<br />

1520CE because of Christian indignation. Even then, the text was only<br />

replaced by circles and the story continued to be taught orally: 547<br />

This is why we enjoin you, under pain of excommunication major,<br />

to print nothing in future editions, whether of the Mischna or of the<br />

Gemara, which relates whether for good or evil to the acts of Jesus the<br />

Nazarene, and to substitute instead a circle like this O, which will warn<br />

the Rabbis and schoolmasters to teach the young these passages only viva<br />

will have no further pretext to attack us on this subject.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Talmud writes of Jesus Nazarene as both Jeshu-ha-Notzri<br />

and Balaam the Lame: 548<br />

…Commentators refer to Jeshu-ha-Notzri [i.e. Jesus] by mention<br />

of the wicked kingdom of Edom, since that was his nation. … He<br />

was hanged on Passover Eve. … He was near to the Kingdom<br />

[i.e. in order of succession].<br />

Balaam the Lame [i.e. Jesus] was 33 years old when Pintias<br />

Robber [i.e. Pontius Pilate] killed him. … <strong>The</strong>y say that his<br />

mother was descended from princes and rulers, but consorted<br />

with carpenters.<br />

Jesus’ royal lineage was important for his coronation as King of<br />

the Jews. His coronation used the ancient formula described in Psalms: 549<br />

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my<br />

Son; this day have I begotten thee. Ask of me, and I shall give thee<br />

the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the<br />

earth for thy possession.<br />

<strong>The</strong> Jewish Nazarenes and Essenes considered this violently<br />

laming coronation essential in the creation of a Messiah. Through this<br />
