IF THEN THEY FIND HIM INNOCENT, THEY DISCHARGE HIM; BUT IF NOT, HE GOES FORTH TO BE STONED, AND A HERALD PRECEDES HIM [CRYING]: SO AND SO, THE SON OF SO AND SO, IS GOING FORTH TO BE STONED BECAUSE HE COMMITTED SUCH AND ‘SUCH AN OFFENCE, AND SO AND SO ARE HIS WITNESSES. WHOEVER KNOWS ANYTHING IN HIS FAVOUR, LET HIM COME AND STATE IT. ‘GEMARA. Abaye said; It must also be announced: On such and such a day, at such and such and hour, and in such and such a place [the crime was committed], in case there are some who know [to the contrary], so that they can come forward and prove the witnesses Zomemim. AND A HERALD PRECEDES HIM etc. This implies, only immediately before [the execution], but not previous thereto. {In contradiction to this) it was taught: On the eve of the Passover Yeshu the Nasarean was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald went forth and cried, 'He is going forth to be stoned because he has practised sorcery and enticed Israel to apostacy. Any one who can say anything in his favour, let him come forward and plead on his behalf.’ But since nothing was brought forward in his. favour he was hanged on the eve of the Passover! — Ulla retorted: ‘Do you suppose that he ‘was one for whom a defence could be made? Was he not a Mesith [enticer], concerning whom Scripture says, Neither shalt thou spare, neither shalt thou conceal him? With Yeshu however it was different, for he was connected with the government [or royalty, i.e., influential]."Babylonian Talmud Tractate Sanhedrin 43a-b — Disciples of Jesus Our Rabbis taught: Yeshu had five disciples, Matthai, Nakai, Nezer, Buni and Todah. When Matthai was brought [before the court] he said to them [the judges], Shall Mathai be executed? Is it not written, Matthai [when] shall | come and oppear before God? Thereupon they retorted; Yes, Matthai shall be executed, since it is written, When Matthai [when] shall [he] die and his name perish. When Nakai was brought in he said to them; Shall Nakai be executed? It is not written, Naki [the innocent] and the righteous slay thou not? Yes, was the answer, Nakai shall be executed, since itis written, in secret places does Naki, [the innocent] slay. When Nezer was brought in, he said; Shall Nezer be executed? Is not written, And Nezer [a twig] shall grow forth out of his roots. Yes, they said, Nezer shall be executed, since it is written, But thou art cast forth away from thy grave like Nezer fan abhorred offshoot}. When Buni was brought in, he said: Shall Buni be executed? Is it not written, Beni [my son], my first born? Yes, they said, Buni shall be executed, since itis written, Behold | will slay Bine-ka [thy son] thy first born, And when Todah was brought in, he said to them; Shall Todah be executed? Is it not written, A psalm for Todah {thanksgiving}? Yes, they answered, Todah shall be executed, since it is written, Whaso offereth the sacrifice of Todah [thanksgiving] honoured me. R. Joshua b. Levi said; He who sacrifices his [evil] inclination and confesses [his sin] over it, Scripture imputes it to him as though he had honoured the Holy One, blessed be He, in both worlds, this world and the next; for it is written, Whoso offereth the sacrifice of confession honoureth me. R, Joshua b. Levi also said: When the Temple was in existence, if a man brought a burnt offering, he received credit for a burnt offering; if a meal offering, he received credit for a meal offering; but he who was humble in spirit, Scripture regarded him as though he had brought all the offerings, for itis said, The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit. And furthermore, his prayers are not despised, for it is written, A broken and contrite heart, 0 God, Thou wilt not despise.203 you somn pp perm a7 bten reves (ome nw) ANIM YW ceryEN m=) TE srw room «2 tpn see 999 — mw aya Ton Ae TE SO a ee re ae ee com cnanm se wae Bh ce Be moet 2 39D feos — Ee ‘ye array ane voNw Ane TN orm) POM TaD So 9B YB TOR YR MANE Tre Bon Se o> — wouy is Pen i to" Son) eB BN HDR orpra Yao crave §D » nwa yD gah — Ton 3 aa) 721, ame we nk (aro) kan SEO 3 Se Fe 7 BOK MINED "PRON Mk weeny ps ee MSE) na wm sie oraba TaN enink onhtx wi yyyio Ta TT BEY" yep ve — "m2 Ton Tap °2" FRM WT IGE eee 2 Ss spin by tv tee? yoIW TARY AVR?

He had a mind to convert himself to Judaism, He went and raised Titus from the dead by magical arts, and asked him; Who is most in repute in the [other] world? He replied: Israel. What then, he said, about joining them? He said: Their observances are burdensome and you will not be able to carry them out. Go and attack them in that world and you will be at the top as itis written, Her adversaries are become the head etc.; whoever harasses Israel becomes head. He asked him: What is your punishment [in the other world]? He replied: What decreed for myself. Every day my ashes are collected and sentence is passed on me and | am burnt and my ‘ashes are scattered over the seven seas. He then went and raised Balam by incantations. He asked him: Who is in repute in the other world? He replied: Israel. What then, he s about joining them? He replied: Thou shalt not seek their peace nor their prosperity all thy days for ever. He then asked: What is your punishment? He replied: With boiling hot semen. He then went and raised by incantations Jesus the Nazarene. He asked them: Who is in repute in the other world? They replied: Israel. What about joining them? They replied: Seek their welfare, seek not their harm. Whoever touches them touches the apple of his eye. He said: What is your punishment? They replied: With boiling hot excrement, since a Master has said: Whoever mocks at the words of the Sages is punished with boiling hot excrement.37 pays prey — ame Sean} pions pete ob — pra Give pe) Se mmae OPH Piao pie jobs yw) pre exon ssa) pion ohne ones mune iho fies wpe pon roy 92 roe moun 1 WWE TE MF ERR TM EN MERA fpoun prnen OnpeTy DR MIEN DON Few CE AD TET) Son Gempn) orae RA ADEN. aT, FETE MFT omy tn ower sw Toba ToweH 7 OO Fon pdb db peel — Son Vt = aon ror Sa nb Sav Bo ene Zon yah = amy SMe ese Pao 3 can nome oon vo OF Zprs tae oon mo AP Soe prensa one Bre Uae sw tem Po Si see yor soy Bee Sa Bi Shoo Sx vo ae fos ete = uno DS Teme sip isa ne ome Bin "Bes he fe Pm tom Tene Samet YR Seen (tsp prot bo sr Sor cat es re Wood 2 sie om Sn pa mem 39 9 9 fi soi oD oe he SHE TO Dyn oe oun Ie Tp Span pw eee oh Tr shy pte ero *s pln some mpoin ora on — wana NY 0 88 we ama Wen met 2 WR TaD ni, OID TRA TAT nN|aT ppre te — niaien DIA s-yhe mp2: ogy ODL DHYT APR — NVI OWRD ON ant p7h — on" On pnap 738 yoRA av apy Peng ag dx oT ND OTT, Sane am ORT PNT TK" NI HT yy xen opp woop NPG dey “HAD Me miviey Dee moa ix — -ovDD 2 ANB Wane MARE nx Tw?

Another reading: Who close their doors for their husbands. New and old, which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved; the congregation of Israel said to the Holy One, blessed be He, ‘Lord of the universe: | have imposed upon myself more restrictions than Thou hast imposed upon me, and | have observed them.” R. Hisda asked one of the young Rabbis who was reciting aggadoth in his presence in a certain order: ‘Did you hear what [was the purport of the expression,] ‘New and old’? — "The former’ the other replied: ‘are the minor, and the latter are the major ‘commandments’. 'Was then the Torah’, the former asked: ‘given on two different ‘occasions? But the latter {are those derived] from the words of the Torah while the former are those derived from the words of the Scribes.’ Raba made the following exposition: What is the purport of the Scriptural text: And, furthermore my son, be admonished: Of making many books etc.? My son, be more careful in [the observance of] the words of the Scribes than in the words of the Torah, for in the laws of the Torah there are positive and negative precepts; but, as to the laws of the Scribes, whoever transgresses any of the enactments of the Scribes incurs the penalty of death. In case you should object: If they are of real value why were they not recorded [in the Torah]? Scripture stated: Of making many books there is no end ‘And much study is a weariness of flesh. R. Papa son of R. Aha b. Adda stated in the name ‘of R. Aha b. Ulla: This teaches that he who scoffs at the words of the Sages will be condemned to boiling excrements. Raba demurred: Is it written: 'scoffing'? The expression is ‘study’! Rather this is the exposition: He who studies them feels the taste of meat. ‘Our Rabbis taught: R. Akiba was once confined in a prison-house and R, Joshua the grits- maker was attending on him. Every day, a certain quantity of water was brought in to him ‘On one occasion he was met by the prison keeper who said to him, 'Your water to-day is. rather much; do you perhaps require it for undermining the prison?’ He poured out a half of it and handed to him the other half. When he came to R. Akiba the latter said to him, “Joshua, do you not know that | am an old man and my life depends on yours?’ When the atter told him all that had happened [R. Akiba] said to him, ‘Give me some water to wash my hands’. 'It will not suffice for drinking’, the other complained, ‘will it suffice for washing your hands?" What can | do!, the former replied: 'when for [neglecting] the words of the Rabbis one deserves death? It is better that | myself should die than that | should transgress against the opinion of my colleagues’. It was related that he tasted nothing until the other had brought him water wherewith to wash his hands.‘When the Sages heard of this incident they remarked: ‘If he was so [scrupulous] in his old age how much more must he have been so in his youth; and if he so [behaved] in a prison- house how much more {must he have behaved in such a manner] when not in a prison- house’.Mark 7 (trans. NRSV) 7Now when the Pharisees and some of the scribes who had come from Jerusalem gathered around him, “they noticed that some of his disciples were eating with defiled hands, that is, without washing them. *(For the Pharisees, and all the Jews, do not eat unless they thoroughly wash their hands, thus observing the tradition of the elders; ‘and. they do not eat anything from the market unless they wash it; and there are also many other traditions that they observe, the washing of cups, pots, and bronze kettles.) "So the Pharisees and the scribes asked him, “Why do your disciples not live according to the tradition of the elders, but eat with defiled hands?” “He said to them, “Isaiah prophesied rightly about you hypocrites, as itis written (Isaiah 29:13), “This people honors me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me; Tin vain do they worship me, teaching human precepts as doctrines.” "You abandon the commandment of God and hold to human tradition.” °Then he said to them, “You have a fine way of rejecting the commandment of God in order to keep your tradition! '°For Moses said, ‘Honor your father and your mother’; and, “Whoever speaks evil of father or mother must surely die.’ ''But you say that if anyone tells father or mother, “Whatever support you might have had from me is Corban’ (that is, an offering to God)— "then you no longer permit doing anything for a father or mother, “thus making void the word of God through your tradition that you have handed on. And you do many things like this.” "*Then he called the crowd again and said to them, “Listen to me, all of you, and understand: '*there is nothing outside a person that by going in can defile, but the things that come out are what defile.” "When he had left the crowd and entered the house, his disciples asked him about the parable. '*He said to them, “Then do you also fail to understand? Do you not see that whatever goes into a person from outside cannot defile, '’since it enters, not the heart but the stomach, and goes out into the sewer?” (Thus he declared all foods clean.) ”*And he said, “It is what comes out of a person that defiles, "For it is from within, from the human heart, that evil intentions come: fornication, theft, murder, “adultery, avarice, wickedness, deceit, licentiousness, envy, slander, pride, folly. All these evil things come from within, and they defile a person.”
