All technical terms and syllogisms are explained. This volume concludes the edition, translation, and commentary of the third order of the Jerusalem Talmud. In contrast to the Babylonian Talmud, the treatment in the Jerusalem Talmud is fragmentary. However, in this case we have a list of charges which Jesus was found guilty of, all of which carried the death penalty. However, this does not mean that this core tradition was without problems.
The wording of this tradition would cause three difficult problems for Jews, especially in the Second Century and beyond, though these problems may not have existed in the early First Century. The first problem was the date of the trial and execution. The Passover Eve refers to the whole day preceding the Passover meal— much like Christmas Eve refers to a whole day. Although Passover Eve was not officially part of the Passover festival, it was important as the day when leaven was searched for and cleared out of each home.
This grew in importance especially after the destruction of the temple in AD 70, when the sacrifice of a lamb became impossible, though it was already important in temple times. A timetable was instituted by which leaven had to be found by noon on Passover Eve, and a signal was given at the temple when this search should end m.
The School of Shammai which effectively disappeared after AD 70 agreed with the School of Hillel that the whole day should be devoted to searching for leaven so no other work should occur m. This meant, in effect, that the whole day of Passover Eve was devoted to sacred tasks and it was certainly not the right time for a trial or an execution.
We have no evidence that this date would be illegal for a trial, but it is certainly not a date which would be chosen by any court interested in observing Jewish customs. In the First Century it would be an embarrassment that Jewish leaders had chosen this date, though it was not a great difficulty. Different branches of Judaism had different regulations, and some chose to continue working normally on Sabbath Eve m.
However, in the Second Century when the ceremony of finding leaven had become more important and Judaism was united around rabbinic law, this would be a much greater problem. However, in a second-century debate, the rabbis concluded that sorcery was punished by stoning, partly because the sorceress is listed alongside the woman guilty of bestiality which was punishable by stoning see the debate at b. This is what R.
So someone reading the core tradition without any mention of stoning would conclude that Jesus was executed by crucifixion. This conclusion would create problems in the Second Century when Judaism was attempting to follow a uniform rabbinic halakha. They sometimes reinterpreted history to imply that the rabbinic halakha had already been followed by everyone before AD They even said that Sadducean priests had been forced by the Pharisees to obey this halakha. However, Jews living in the First Century would not be embarrassed by a tradition which said they had used a Roman form of execution, because they had a more realistic understanding of what was possible, and they knew the Romans were in charge of capital punishment.
The third problem was the most important because it threatened to draw many more people to revere Jesus. Second-century rabbis made a very clear distinction between real and imaginary magic, and they were quite sophisticated at recognising illusions. For example Rab Abba b. If not, it was merely an illusion. Among the amulets and incantation bowls surviving from the Second and Third Centuries, some contain the name of Jesus along with mainly Jewish names such as the angels named in 1 Enoch.
This brings it into line with the story which developed later about spells for harvesting cucumbers b. Paul, MN : Llewellyn, : Markham J. We are not sure how incantation bowls were used, but they are frequently found buried upside down under houses, especially thresholds, as though they could trap evil spirits which tried to enter the house from below. But in the latter part of the First Century these amulets became popular in Palestine32 and Jews became enamoured with such spells.
The eclectic lists of names suggest that people were no longer concerned with the source of healing power, but with power itself. Explanatory Additions to Solve These Problems It was not possible to solve these problems by changing the words of the original tradition because they were too well known. We can see how widespread this tradition was from the fact that it has survived in three separate places in rabbinic sources and one in a Christian source.
In any case, it was not normal practice for rabbinic editors to change the wording of texts they had received. Even when the older texts used vocabulary which was archaic and even when they disagreed with its meaning, they preserved the older wording.
In these situations it is significant that they nevertheless preserved the older version, even though it was a possible source of confusion for later generations. The normal method of editing was to add explanatory glosses, preferably after the end of a tradition, but also within a tradition when this was more helpful. A useful example is the list of things one may or may not wear on a Sabbath in m. This list grew with time, becoming interspersed and followed by later glosses.
The second half of this passage reads: 3. A woman may not go out: with a needle [which is] pierced, nor with a ring which has a seal, nor a snail, nor an ankle chain, nor a bottle of spikenard perfume.
But if she goes out, she is liable for a sin offering. Meir, but the Sages exempt the ankle chain and the bottle of spikenard perfume. A man may not go out: not with a dagger, nor with a bow, nor with a shield, nor with a spear, nor with a lance. And if he goes out he is liable for a sin offering.
Eliezer [b. An ankle chain is impure and they may not go out with it on Sabbath. Most additions in halakhic discussions are made at the end of a complete tradition, like the comments of Eliezer and the sages at the end.
Even though these included comments about the ankle chain mentioned in 3 , they wait till the end of this tradition.
