Their common enemy is Jesus

I need you to take a very long deep breath can you do that what why just please ask God to give you at the time the ruling power in the world was the Roman Empire they have conquered and taken control of a lot of different peoples and lands cultures and religions four convicted revolutionaries Jewish zalidan leave the governing to me pilot is the governor of Judea his wife's name is Claudia and they had originally been assigned to a different jurisdiction outside of the Middle East Emperor tiberious didn't really like pilate because he was a little bit too brutal and he was a little bit entitled and just kind of like offbrand in in a way I have been reprimanded for my use of force so if word spreads that everyone in Israel is heavy-handed then I have to be even less forceful and so as a punishment he assigned him Judea because nobody wanted that crazy Backwater town with those people and their one God and all this stuff it was it was a bit of like a kick they say this is a Backwater you know punishment even I guess we're sharing the same cell that usually they would impose their own religion on a conquered people and just be like guess what now you worship our Pantheon Israel God's chosen people somehow ended up getting a very special treatment where they were allowed to continue with their own religion but it was all very much still carefully monitored by Rome for instance pilot would keep the garments of the high priest locked up until it was a festival and then he would let them have them back and it had to be a certain number of days before it so that they could like make sure that they were ceremonially clean then when the festival or holiday like Passover or Russia shanan with over the governor pilot would take the garments back and lock them up as if to say we let you observe this like this is on our terms ask of me anything you wish for and I will give it to you here is not really a king he's just like what's called a client King King in name only like the actual power is Rome they let him serve as a king of the Jews but he didn't really have that much power some but not as much as the actual Emperor he's one of us and he's unlawful I am not afraid of him he may not be as bad as his father but he is still bad her the great was his father that was the guy who had all of the babies killed when the wise men came and said a king of the Jews has been born in Bethlehem he's like well then we got to wipe out all anyone under two and then his son Herod anpus is the current client king of Galilee herodias is Herod antipas's current wife herodias had been married to Herod antipas's brother Phillip and then she ended up marrying Herod anpus and John the Baptist viewed that as a kind of incest I'm going to March straight into his court and I'm going to tell him to his face you do know how that's going to end don't you Herod Antipas put John the Baptist in prison to just get him out of the way but herodias that wasn't enough for her two of his followers are former Disciples of the late blasphemer John the baptizer late the American two-party system will not help you understand this at all you might better look at just the vast array of denominations and every splinter in between there's a lot of traditions within Judaism but the key players are Sadducees which are an aristocratic class extremely wealthy religious Jews who probably have bought their way into the Sanhedrin which is a governing much like the Senate the Sadducees wealth and social status make your interpretation all too convenient your class is so comfortable in this life why should you worry about the next one the Sadducees do not believe in an afterlife they only believe in the first five books of the Bible it's kind of convenient for the Sadducees not to believe in an afterlife because they have such a comfortable life in the present next to them you have the Pharisees which are also part of the Sanhedrin the Pharisees hyper literal reading of the Prophet Daniel is both dangerous and distracting they are more traditional meaning they believe in all of the books of what we now call the Old Testament they also placed a lot of emphasis on extra biblical tradition they came up with their own ideas about like really really strict rules of how we observe things how we do things and in the show we've had to differentiate from time to time this is what's in Torah and then this is Rabin teachings you're not supposed to make healing concoctions on Shabbat your obsession with what is clean and unclean goes farther than God intended people think scribes are the people who just wrote stuff down I know what scribes are it's not necessarily true the scribes are like lawyers we also call them lawyers that doesn't mean they would like help you sue someone they were lawyers in the sense that they interpreted the law and work with the Sanhedrin to make sure everything was legally sort of intact and then of course the fourth philosophy very Fringe the zealots of in their own weird extremist holes making plans to murder people not just Romans but also Jewish officials whom they felt were too cozy with Rome Rabbi shamai we came looking for someone who would care that a false prophet is deceiving our people if that was your intent you have succeeded so shamay is a Pharisee he's a member of the Sanhedrin which means he's a part of this governing body that makes decisions about Temple life and culture Shmi really wants to stick to the very traditional interpretation of the text during the Feast of Tabernacle shmi's daughter gave birth to a son Shmo he climbed up onto the roof of the chamber where she and the boy lay and thore opened a hole in the plaster just to make it a Suka he had people who were like in his school of thought fellow Pharisees who agreed with his interpretation and wanted basically for nothing to change a rabbi 300 years ago said observing Sabbath should be done this way and not deviated from and then he would point to that as precedent much like our Supreme Court might do today for a decision that's been handed down in the past perhaps before any of them were even born so in shmi's school of thought we're dwelling heavily on tradition and precedent and previous rabbis the house of H will fall and the house of Shai will rise H represents the opposite spectrum of shamai Hillel wanted to reform the Traditions that had bubbled up and become conflated with Torah hell wanted to make changes he was like some of this stuff is really hard on our people we need to make reforms and when someone like Jesus comes along hell and his school of thought were more open to progressing things beyond the way they just always had been done whereas the school of shamai was like no we're never changing they both are committed to Torah equally only shamai is more literal while H focuses on the broader principle the role of the high priest was to be an intercessor between the people and God the high priest was the only person in all of Israel who on the day of atonement could enter the holy of holies where the presence of God dwells the highest religious figure in the religious order of Judaism kaius is the current serving high priest of Israel he is the son-in-law of Annis who is the former high priest which created some Strife in the family and some kind of Whispers In among town like why did the the son-in-law get it and not like one of that he had a bunch of other sons that he could have chosen it is a role that sends back Generations through a particular family hus married into this family and then got the job he wasn't technically a descendant of Aaron or the Levites kind of shady this meeting is a journ cus this report is bloated and skewed with a biased agenda I said we're finished here Shimon
