Religion

In Jesus’ time, there was still decision being made on what religion was right. Jesus started of jewish, and then started to become and make christianity. In the bible, Jesus’ spreads the word about christianity and getting baptized. Christianity became popular, and people started to follow Jesus’ word. Some people didn’t like Jesus and what he was doing, so they killed him.

There were many people related to the religion of Jesus time. There were Pharisees, Rabbis, Sadducees & levites.

Pharisees had a tight relationship with the synagog. They were middle class citizens. They were translators of the Torah, meaning they knew a lot the torah which was their bible in the time. Pharisees made the holy way of living and they do not like sinners. Pharisees would fast twice a week and they are very judgmental on how others live their life.

Rabbis also relate to the time of Jesus in religion. Rabbis have a lot of respect for a scholar. Rabbis also apply the torah (their bible) into everyday life.

Sadducees are priest like followers and follow Judaism at the time of Jesus. Levites work as Sadducees assistants. Sadducees are mostly from a wealthy levite family & leper class. They are very strict of law. Sadducees like to live in peace.

Levites work as servants to Sadducees. Levites follow strict Jewish rules and follow their Sadducees.

There was also some roman religion in Jesus’ time. They believed in many greek gods. The chief greek god was Jupiter. Christians and Jews refuse to worship greek gods.
