| | Donmeh West - To Die For The People: A Kabbalistic Reinterpretation Of The Crucifixion Of Jesus |
 | | According to this passage of Talmud, Jesus was condemned for "sorcery" and "apostasy" and not for "blasphemy" as the Gospels contend (Mt 26:65, Mk 14:64, Lk 5:21, Jn 10:33) -- charges that are far more probable since claiming to be the Messiah, or even the "Son of God," did not constitute blasphemy in rabbinic law. |
 | | For example, the Talmud states: "If a man say to thee, 'I am God,' he is [only] a liar; if [he says I am] 'the son of man,' in the end people will laugh at him. |
 | | That is, rather than calling for His death out of blind malice, as we have been told they did, they may have done so for their eternal salvation. |
