All those Jewish movements
Submitted by Leon Zitzer (not verified) on Sun, 07/06/2008 - 20:15.

All those Jewish movements had another thing in common. They were not persecuted by Jewish leaders. Jewish leaders never cooperated with the Romans in subduing such movements and did not help Romans arrest and prosecute any Jewish troublemakers. Josephus makes it prety clear that they would refuse such cooperation with the Romans.

And if you read the evidence in the NT very carefully, it is possible to see they did not cooperate in the execution of Jesus either, but rather opposed it. A lot of eivdence in the NT supports this and it fits the historical context.
