The passage appears in Antiquities of the Jews, book 18, chapter 3, item 3, which in the translation of William Whiston, reads: 3. Now there was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man; for he was a doer of wonderful works, a teacher of such men as receive the truth with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews and many of the Gentiles. He was [the] Christ. And when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved him at the first ...

His debut album was Feel My Power (1987), produced by Felton Pilate (of Con Funk Shun). The album sold over 60,000 copies, which led to several offers from major labels.

His debut album was then re-released as Let's Get It Started. The album eventually went triple-platinum (more than 3 million units sold). The title song, "Turn This Mutha Out", and "Feel My Power" saw heavy r ...

The question of who is responsible for the execution of Jesus has both historical and theological components.

The theological question is understood in light of other New Testament writings such as the Letters of Paul. The historical inquiry is aided by other sources from antiquity which exp ...

The phrase occurs on the death of Lazarus, a friend of Jesus. Lazarus' sisters Mary and Martha sent word to Jesus of their brother's condition. Jesus purposely arrived late in order to have his disciples learn a lesson concerning the power of God over death. Jesus, seeing her and the Jews weeping, was grieved by their lack of faith and wept in front of Lazarus' tomb. He then ordered the people to remove the stone covering his tomb, prayed aloud to God (for the benefit of the peo ...

When Undercover released its first album in 1982, it was described by some as "Christian punk," characterized by high-energy anthems, rebellious themes, and short, three-chord songs. Mohawk hairstyles, tattoos, and torn denims did little to convince people otherwise; nor did the next few albums, which contained punk versions of traditional hymns ("Holy Holy Holy"), shouted vocals ("God Rules"), and simplis ...

According to the Bible, Jesus came with his followers to Jerusalem during the Passover festival. He was involved in a public disturbance at the Temple in Jerusalem when he overturned the tables of the moneychangers there. At some point later, he was betrayed to the Jewish religious authorities of the city — either the full council (Sanhedrin) or perhaps just the High Priest — by one of his apostles, Judas Iscariot. The High Priest of the city was appointed by the government in Rome, and the current holder of the post was Joseph Caiphas. ...

The Passion of the Christ - Details in the film not present in the New Testament. (Where possible, the source of these details is indicated in parentheses after the entry.) During Jesus’ distress in the Garden of Gethsemane, Satan is shown speaking to him.

Baroque musical settings of the Passion became common in the later 17th century. Like other oratorio passions, Bach's setting presents the Biblical text of Matthew 26-27 in a relatively simple way, primarily using recitative, while arias and ariosos set newly-written texts which comment on the various events in the Biblical narrative. Two distinctive aspects of Bach's setting spring from Bach’s other church endeavors. One is the double-choir format stems from his own double-choir motets and the many such motets from other composers ...

The earliest and most vivid account of Carpocrates and his followers comes from Irenaeus (died 202 A.D.) Against Heresies [1], in which the writer gives an account of the theology and practice of the sect. They believe, he writes, that Jesus was not divine but because his soul was "steadfast and pure", he "remembered those things which he had witnessed within the sphere of the unbegotten God". This is simply Plato's concept of Anamnesis. Because of this he was able to free himself from the material powers (what other Gnostics c ...

In the Testament of Solomon, Beelzebul (not Beelzebub) appears as prince of the demons and says (6.2) that he was formerly a leading heavenly angel who was (6.7) associated with the star Hesperus (which is the normal Greek name for the planet Venus as evening star). Seemingly Beelzebul is here simply Satan/Lucifer. Beelzebul claims to cause destruction through tyrants, to cause demons to be worshipped among men, to excite priests to lust, to cause jea ...
