The Gospel of Mark

[Tero]

Are there any facts in it? Does any of it match history? Did they get the right sandals on Jesus. Outfits of Roman soldiers?

Life Of Brian.

Compare and contrast!

You aren't making any sense man! I think it must be cabin fever!

Gin, quickly!

Complete bollocks - no virgin birth, no shepards, no star, no wise cunts from the east, and WTF he came from Nazareth instead of Bethlehem. Not believeable at all.

What about the sandals?

I liked Nazareth. Deep Purple canceled but the opening act showed up to play the Gig in Columbus Ohio free, 1974.

What about Jerry Garcia? Was he real?

[Bella Fortuna]

Cherry Garcia is real!

His desciples were a bit dim and clueless too, but at least he had 2 drummers.

Yes. I've been to a couple of Dead concerts in my day.

Cherry Garcia is real!

This, too, but it's not my favorite flavor.

Some of Mark in Greek

> who knows what the original language was, the inspirational dude Jesus if there was one, spoke Aramaic and was of course illiterate, though is said to have read Hebrew texts at some point in the NT

There was no point in a craftsman learning to read. But only once, in Mark, does Jesus get an occupation. Probably lazyand had to get his commune together.

Now, girlfriends?

[Tero]

So Brian had a girlfriend, but the naked girlfriend scene is not in the youtube selection. The activists have a chick member

Jesus on the other hand had this one chick hanging out. Not sure if she was put in just to make him more hetero.Maybe in today's terms she is just a fag hag.

... one of three Marys "who always walked with the Lord" and as his companion (Philip 59.6-11). The work also says that Lord loved her more than all the disciples, and used to kiss her often...

Here we see Mary administering to Jesus, but she should probably be about 60cm to the left

Jesus is leaving the garden with Peter, James, and John when Judas Iscariot, one of the apostles, arrives with the city’s chief priests and a crowd carrying swords and clubs. Judas kisses Jesus, indicating to the priests Jesus’s identity. The priests arrest Jesus and take him to the court of the high priest. There, Jesus publicly claims that he is “the Messiah, the Son of the Blessed One,” and the Jews deliver him to Pontius Pilate, the Roman governor, who agrees to crucify him (14:61). On the cross, Jesus cries out, “My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” (15:34). He dies and is buried by Joseph of Arimathea, a righteous Jew.

Then Pilate steps into the plot

“Do you want me to release to you the king of the Jews?” asked Pilate, 10 knowing it was out of self-interest that the chief priests had handed Jesus over to him. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have Pilate release Barabbas instead.

12 “What shall I do, then, with the one you call the king of the Jews?” Pilate asked them.

13 “Crucify him!” they shouted.

14 “Why? What crime has he committed?” asked Pilate.

But they shouted all the louder, “Crucify him!”

15 Wanting to satisfy the crowd, Pilate released Barabbas to them. He had Jesus flogged, and handed him over to be crucified.

So Pilate has no clue what the crime is, he is just a useless rebel.

Someone ran, filled a sponge with wine vinegar, put it on a staff, and offered it to Jesus to drink. “Now leave him alone. Let’s see if Elijah comes to take him down,” he said.

37 With a loud cry, Jesus breathed his last.

38 The curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood there in front of Jesus, saw how he died,

he said, “Surely this man was the Son of God!”

Nobody pokes him with a spear in Mark, there is no earthquake.

The only reliable mention of a crucifixion of the king of Jews was by Tacitus.

Wiki mentions common crucifixions.

The rebel slaves of the Third Servile War: Between 73 BC and 71 BC a band of slaves, eventually numbering about 120,000, under the (at least partial) leadership of Spartacus were in open revolt against the Roman republic. The rebellion was eventually crushed, and while Spartacus himself most likely died in the final battle of the revolt, approximately 6,000 of his followers were crucified along the 200 km road between Capua and Rome, as a warning to any other would-be rebels.

The simpliest cross was just a stake.
