THE NEW TESTAMEN
Brief Description of NT Bible
Astrotheology is inherent part of the biblical narrative along with the esoteric spiritual wisdom specific to mankind. With it are also mixed historical events and characters as wèll as the laws.
The crucifixion of Christ in astrotheology terms represents the Sun's crossing the equator at Spring equinox, thus the two thieves on either side of the Sun at the equator are the days prior and after
Actual story of crucifixion first appeared in writings of Flavius Josephus which is a pen name of Arrius (Arius) Piso who was writing about his time as general of Roman legions under "son of god" Titus, son of emperor Vespasian of Flavian dynasty.
Titus was overseeing the destruction of Herod's Temple and the sidge of Jerusalem when Flavius was writing about three crucified men whom he recognized as his friends. He asked Titus to get them off.
The two out of three have succumbed to their wounds and died, however one has survived and fully recovered. This story was later incorporated into the gospels as the solar metaphor for the equinox.
Along with paralleling the narrative of Osirian mysteries of Horus, the Egyptian equivalent of higher Christ Consciousness, is resurrected Osiris (order) after being killed by his brother Set (chaos).
The story of Jesus being sold out by his trusted disciple for 30 silver coins is in harmony with the story of Joseph who was also sold to slavery by his 11 brothers, him being one of 12 sons of Jacob aka Israel, for 20 pieces of silver.
Judas betrayal with the kiss of death is symbolism of Scorpio whose deadly sting looks like lips signifying Autumn equinox as the Sun is on its way down to "die" at the Southern Cross constellation at the Winter Solstice only to be resurrected.
Gaius Lucius Calpurnius Piso (wrote Ur Marcus CE 60) first Gospel of Mark. He married Arria who is Aristobulus, her grandfather's name, making her great-grand daughter of Herod the Great, governor of Judea aka Roman Jewish client king.
Their youngest son Arrius Calpurnius Piso (spelled "Arius" herein) appears in Tacitus under "Antonius Natalis" and whose pen name is historian Flavius Josephus.
Emperor Nero ordered Gaius Piso to commit suicide after getting a wind of an assassination plot. So finally after Arius Piso with future emperor Vespasian have arranged the assassination of Nero, Arius Calpurnius Piso then wrote:
- Gospel of Matthew (CE 70-75)
- Present Gospel of Mark (CE 75-80) based on original Ur Marcus written by his father Gaius Lucius Calpurnius Piso (CE 60)
- Gospel of Luke, with help of Pliny the Younger (CE 85-90)
In his gospels Arius has used the OT Joseph, one of 12 brothers who got sold for 20 pieces of silver to slavery in Egypt, as a prototype for his fictional Joseph/Jesus story who also has 12 disciples and was betrayed for 30 silver coins.

THE GENESIS OF THE NEW TESTAMENT GOSPELS
Early Origins & Background
Special thanks to research by YT channel Kurimeo Ahau, links at the end of this article.
TRANSITION FROM ROMAN REPUBLIC TO ROMAN EMPIRE TO HOLY R.E.
Long story short summary. Julius Caesar is proclaimed god by Roman Senate ending the days of the Republic. He marries Egyptian goddess Cleopatra VII of Ptolemaic dynasty aka the new white "Jews", aka Persians, of Macedonia, formed by Manasseh and Dan tribes after the exodus from Egypt by Akhenaten and his entourage.
HISTORICSL ISSA aka JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
Their son Caesarion, little Caesar, aka Issa as he was known in Egypt i.e. son of Isis, as his mom was known to be the incarnation of. They made popular the Osirian cult of Isis Osiris and Horus, in Ptolemaic terms, aka Auset Ausar Heru originally. The holy solar trinity of life death and resurrection. Egyptian and Arabic Issa is translated as Iesous in Greek / Iesvs in Latin, and once the letter j was introduced in English the Iesous became Jesus.
YESHUA / JOSHUA, WITH ITS VARIOUS SPELLING ARRANGEMENTS, AS THE IGNORANT LIKE TO CALL HISTORICAL ISSA CAESARION
Yeshua means saviour, deliverer, rescuer as an epithet ans not a name of historical Issa, from the root yasha 'to save, rescue'. The historical Issa was annointed king of Egypt, last Egyptian pharaoh, with titles as son of god, son of virgin, king of kings, heir to Roman and Egyptian empires etc. He had the inner Christ, means annointed, Consciousness as any other normal human being does. His message is of the kingdom of heavens within oneself not out there somewhere.
"The name Yehoshua has the form of a compound of "Yeho-" and "shua": Yeho- (יְהוֹ) is another form of יָהו, Yahu, a theophoric element standing for the name of God, יהוה (the Tetragrammaton YHWH, sometimes transcribed into English as Yahweh), and שׁוּעַ, shua' is a noun meaning "a cry for help", "a saving cry", that is to say, a shout given when in need of rescue." Wikipedia: Yeshua
EXOTERIC & ESOTERIC CHRIST
The kingdom of Heaven is within you. The king of kings is the inner Christ Consciousness. It has no skin colour or ethnicity. I don't care what tree you have climbed down from. Melanated mankind has figured the inner Christ's fall and rise story first, hence why there are so many depictions of black saints and Christs, because it was based on their culture and ethnicity.
However the black esoteric Christ or Heru / Horus story was associated with a historical personage of Caesarion aka Issa son of Caesar and Cleopatra, who was of Ptolemaic (Babylonian white "Jew") lineage on his mom's side and very white Roman father's side. So, historical so called Jesus was white as snow with maybe Mediterranean complexion.
The exoteric solar cult also has esoteric meaning of birth and transmutation of the inner Christ Consciousness as cerebrospinal fluid gets refined into a golden "christos" oil which is then absorbed by the pineal and pituitary glands causing enlightenment as the left and right hemispheres of the brain unite as one along with the lower raptilian / mamalian brain of attack, freeze or flee responses and survival instincts with the neo cortex of higher cognitive functions.
OLD & NEW WORLDS & JEWS
One must keep in mind that by this time the real black Jews and Israel have already been systematically replaced for at least five centuries with white Semites, Rabbinical Babylonians, Persians, Hittites, Khazarians, Satanists and whatnot.
The geographic names also may refer to either the old world of Americas populated by original black tribes of so called Jews / Israelis, or the so called Middle East, with Jerusalem, holy place of peace, being a city either in Canaan or, according to some theories, Saksaywaman Cusco, Peru, while Utah is the original Judah, d and t are interchangeable while j is latter addition replaced letter y.
That said, I think the struggle for power over the Roman empire at that time was between the well established by then Moseretic Messianic Pythagorean Masonic Babylonian Satanists aka the name stealers, the latter is how the Chinese have described them, who are the descendants and following of heretic king Akhenaten (Moses) and the Roman aristocracy. Reason being is that Rome itself was established by wealthy Babylonian families living in Persia, modern day Iran, such as Farnese, who have established it, Orsini aka future German Rothschilds, Pallavicini and Aldo Brandini to name a few.
However, the fake new Jews of Babylonian persuasion shared with the Romans passion for slavery, thus their Old and New Testaments promotes slavery in the guise of all loving supreme deity who is in fact an intolerant psychopath image of themselves. Both, Babylonians and Romans then went war on the original black Jews and Yasheral / Israel, killing and enslaving them, stealing their identity and culture then modifying it to fit their need for control and dominance. This war has killed at least 500 million melanated people during the last 500 years according to some estimates, painting a rather different picture of collective crimes and traumas.
ROMAN JEWISH WAR
During the Roman vs Jewish aristocracy war, Roman aristocrats responsible for control of Judea have decided to subdue their opposition by producing yet another "holy" book in the style and likeness of their own since they reasoned Jews liked their books so much.
THE NEW TESTAMENT GENESIS
Gaius Lucius Calpurnius Piso (wrote Ur Marcus CE 60) first Gospel of Mark. He married Arria who is Aristobulus, her grandfather's name, making her great-grand daughter of Herod the Great, governor of Judea aka Roman Jewish client king.
Their youngest son Arrius Calpurnius Piso (spelled "Arius" herein) appears in Tacitus under "Antonius Natalis" and whose pen name is historian Flavius Josephus.
Nero's wife Poppea was Jewish / pro-Jewish has influenced him to oppose the Piso family plan. The Pisonian conspiracy to assassinate Nero has evolved due to it.
Nero gets a wind of it and kills Gaius Lucius, Seneca and others, forcing them to commit suicide, then sends the only surviving Piso, Arius, to govern Syria, along with legions controlling Judea. Arius then serves in Judaea CE 65 under the name of Gessius Florus and in CE 66 under pseudonym Sestius Gallus.
Arius deliberately causes Jewish revolt in CE 66 with goal to destroy the Temple in Jerusalem and force the Jews to accept his father's story and be pacified by it. Then his 12th legion got almost destroyed by the Jewish zealots at the Pass of Beth Horon prompting Nero to send him to command 7th legion in Pannonia (Austrua-Hungary), replacing him with Licinius Mucianus in Syria and with Vespasian in Judaea to squash Jewish revolt.
Then Nero is assassinated in CE 68 by a lackey of Piso family working in imperial court. What happens after is ensued power struggle. Galba becomes next emperor and names Piso's cousin Licinianus Piso as his successor. However soon after they were overthrown by Otho who was in short turn replaced with Vitellius. That caused Pisos, Mucianus, and Tiberius Alexander (Philo's nephew) join ranks behind Vespasian to overthrow Vitellius.
Vespasian sends Arius with his 7th legion South across the Alps to attack Vitellius while his main army under Mucianus marched from the East to Rome. Arius has defeated Vitellius, thus securing power for Vespasian and with it bringing an end to the game of rotating thrones at least for now. Tacitus describes these events with Arius named as Marcus Antonius Primus.
Mucianus arrives to Rome and sends Arius to Judea to help Titus to quell the Jewish revolt in siege of Jerusalem. They succeed in CE 70 to bridge the city walls, destroying the second Temple rebuilt by Herod the Great and the city, burning it all to the ground with thousands killed, captured and either crucified or sent as slaves, many later killed as gladiators.
It is during this time that historian Flavius Josephus aka general Arius Piso who was at the siege of Jerusalem with Titus, as he writes about himself as an eye witness. As Josephus elaborates, Arius has spotted three of his familiars who have been crucified by the Roman soldiers, so he asks Titus, the son of "god" aka emperor Vespasian, to free them. Titus oders three men to be taken down, however only one survives his wounds and recovers, "resurrected" back to life.
Even though the original Gospel of Mark ends at 16:8 without the any witness of resurrection, the chapters 16:9-20 were later added as such witness, after it was deemed as useful rhetoric by the Holy Roman Catholic Church, that were originally based on writings of Flavius Josephus who is Arius as historian writing about himself as general of Roman legions during the destruction of Jerusalem.
Arius Calpurnius Piso then wrote:
- Gospel of Matthew (CE 70-75)
- Present Gospel of Mark (CE 75-80) based on original Ur Marcus written by his father Gaius Lucius Calpurnius Piso (CE 60)
- Gospel of Luke, with help of Pliny the Younger (CE 85-90)
In his gospels Arius has used the OT Joseph, one of 12 brothers who got sold for 20 pieces of silver to slavery in Egypt, as a prototype for his fictional Joseph/Jesus story who also has 12 disciples and was betrayed for 30 silver coins. Granted mixed with the interwoven esoteric meaning of the sun going through the zodiac, the betraying kiss of Judah symbolizes the autumn equinox, constellation of scorpio whose deadly bite looks like lips, hence the deadly kiss of betrayal symbolism, and merged with the Roman solar cult of Mithraism, god of contracts.
Flavian Dynasty Begins:
Titus Flavius Vespasian (father god of R.E.)
Titus Caesar Vespasianus (son of god, actual Roman title, this being first successful dynastic passage of power after the demise of god Julius Caesar)
HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE
Constantine (later as Holy Ghost, first Holy Roman Emperor with formation of Vatican as Holy Sea of Catholic Church and transition of the Roman empire into the Holy Roman empire.

THE REAL IDENTITY OF FAKE JEWS
"~The Venetian Black Nobility Papal Bloodlines And The Joos~
The Venetian (from Venice Italy) Black Nobility Papal Bloodlines are descendants of the ancient Phoenicians - considered to be the elite of the ancient Canaanite tribes. Their wealthy ancestors lived in Tyre, which was part of the Persian Empire so they are therefore ancient Iranians, who were Aryan, hence why “Iranian” means “Land of the Aryans”. Their ancestors were the builders of Solomon's Temple, wherein they burned all of their first born children as an offering to Baal. The borders of ancient Persia covered modern day Iran, Palestine, Lebanon and Syria. Since ancient times the Venetian's (Phoenician) primary form of Warfare has been Ideological Subversion.
These bloodlines invented Judaism, Christianity and Islam, in order to Ideologically Subvert the Gentile Nations and trick them into worshipping their demon god, Baal, under the names Yahweh, Yeshua (Jesus), and Allah, as they secretly acquire the nation's wealth. These bloodlines began to cultivate Judaism, along with its murderous ideologies, rituals and narcissistic beliefs, in ancient Egypt, in order to create a controllable race, from their own stock, to do their long-term bidding of World Conquest. Think of the Black Nobility as the Head of an Octopus and Talmudic Judaism ~ from which sprang, Christianity, Catholicism, Islam, Jesuitism, Bavarian Illuminism, Freemasonry, Marxism, Communism, Zionism, Bolshevism, Fascism, Nazism, Frankism and Sabbateanism ~ as it's far reaching tentacles.

SOUTH AFRICAN JESUS
https://vm.tiktok.com/ZMMgKLkE3/
Here is a refreshing view of the NT Gospel that took place in South Africa. I don't support this view yet, link above. However, that said, am interested to learn more about this as it may be part of a bigger puzzle and therefore picture.
BETHLEHEM
Beth (house, 2nd letter of Hebrew alphabet) Lehem (bread) = Bethlehem (House of Bread / bakery) ancient reference to the constellation of Virgo (fire/earth elementary combination, first of three Golden Ages) exoteric meaning, esoteric is that it is the solar plexus where the Christ oil is being deposited once a month when the moon is in one's sun sign, as cerebrospinal fluid descends and ascends from the brain up and down the spine back to the brain in a refined form that transmutates the consciousness from lower to higher states of awareness.
I thus don't find it strange that there are many places in the world named after the ones described in the bible. The esoteric meaning does not negate the possibility of actual historical places and events that share the same name and could be mutually inspired to form the basis of traditional Christian narratives, of which there are plenty albeit all sharing something in common however contradictory.
JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR
The story of Jesus is conglomeration of different stories, those of esoteric metamorphosis of cerebrospinal fluid which purifies into Christ oil ascending up the spine to the brain causing enlightenment, the plethora of historical personalities, ancient dieties of Mithra, Tamuz, Krishna, major cultural / ethnic events, coming of new Age of Pisces, Roman empire expansion and transition from pagan Mithraism to Christianity, along with ample use of fictional, syblolic, metaphorical, allegorical, metaphysical, traditional whatnot characters, solar cults of astrotheology, triune diety of Osirian mysteries of life, death and resurrection, and outright lies and deception, state propaganda, hogwash, mistranslations, misinterpretations, numerous contradictions and oxymorons.
HISTORICAL JESUSES
The historical Jesuses alone, we have Issa Caesarion son of Julius Caesar and Cleopatra VII, who had to flee to India at the age of 17 after his mom had to kill herself after Mark Anthony lost in war against the adopted son of Caesar Augustus Octavian who took over the imperial Rome after Caesar's assassination and was consolidating his power. Reportedly Issa, the last pharaoh of Egypt's Ptolemaic dynasty, then traveled from India, where he learned Buddhism, to Cornwall in England where he picked some ancient Druid wisdom, before returning to Alexandria, where he has married his half sister Selene Cleopatra from marriage with Mark Anthony. He then shared his secret wisdom of the divine Christ Consciousness within as the key to salvation and the kingdom of heavens, and according to some have moved to France where the Merovingian dynasty claims to descend from. An alternative story claims that he had fled to Japan and North America, while his wife Mary Magdalen, means beloved elevated / exalted, left to France alone.
The emperor Titus was son of Emperor Vespasian who have destroyed second Temple in Jerusalem originally rebuilt by Herod the Great, first successful dynastic passage of power from father to son in imperial Rome. The part in NT when Jesus curses the fig tree is describing when Titus lead the siege of Jerusalem he ordered all the fig trees and fruit trees to be cut down in order to cut off food supplies to the city.
Then we have a buddy of Arrious Piso aka Flavius Josephus who was taken off the cross along with two others, however only one survives. Arrious Piso, whose father was the writer of the original Gospel of Marc, then wrote himself into the narrative as Joseph of Arimathea aka Joseph of Judea who took the body of Christ off the cross, as he was describing himself under Flavius Josephus pseudonym, also incorporating his entire family into the NT narrative.
So, one more Jesus from South Africa couldn't hurt the story but actually could contribute to explaining the NT narrative in better detail and clarity, as the names, events and places were freely exchanged between several original sources to create the current story of Jesus everyone is familiar with.

JESUS CHRIST & JULIUS CAESAR
The historical Jesus, after whose likeness the NT Jesus Christ is based on, is known in Greek & Latin as Iesous which comes from Egyptian Issa, son of Isis, aka Caesarion, little Caesar, as he was known in Rome, being son of first living Roman god Julius Caesar and goddess Isis who was known to be the Ptolemaic Pharaoh Cleopatra VII, established by Macedonian Alexander the Great, who is a Persian "Jew", descendant from the following of the heretic king Akhenaten.
His famous parents and public royal life made him popular among the solar Osirian mysteries cults rooted in the resurrection of Ausar/Osiris as Heru/Horus symbolising the transformation of lower to higher Consciousness as the inner Christ, annointed, who is the child of the deity who is the very child. The divine feminine as the consort/mother is making it all possible by way of her love, power, wisdom, nature & nurture, magic and intellect, with additional help from her divine family and friends. This started Gnosticism as an alternative to Talmudic Judaism, with the Coptic tradition rooted in the cult of Serapis started by Ptolemy the Great.
The divine imperial tradition was later picked up by emperor Vespasian and his son Titus who have destroyed Herod's temple at Jerusalem and subdued the Babylonian (Persian) "Jewish" revolt at ancient Canaan, which by then was renamed to Judea, with Palestine becoming the official name of the Levant region as set by the Roman empire.
"Zachary Foster in his doctoral dissertation wrote that "Most scholars believe the Roman Emperor Hadrian changed the provincial administrative name of Judaea to Palestine to erase the Jewish presence in the land" Wikipedia
Flavius Josephus, Roman-"Jewish" historian was a pseudonym of Arrious Piso who was part of Flavian dynasty, he was responsible for arranging Niro's assassination and writings of NT gospels, which were later used by emperor Constantine as tool to unite his empire and consolidate control of the world under Holy Roman Empire & Vatican as the Holy See of Roman Catholic Church.

JESUS IESOUS ISSA & YESHUA / YASHA
Am not into a name Yeshua describing the historical Issa, yasha means to savior, rescuer, deliverer and is an epithet not a name. English Jesus comes from Latin/Greek Iesous which comes from Egyptian Issa means son of Isis, an Egyptian name of son of Cleopatra VII and Julius Caesar aka Caesarion.
The original imperial Roman religion aka Christianity was started by the Flavian dynasty headed by god-emperor Vespasian, Caesar being first emperor turned god, with his son (of god) Titus and Arrious Colparnius Piso aka Flavius Josephus who wrote Mathew, Mark, and Luke gospels.
The references to historical Jesus as Yeshua is in Talmud which is based on now lost account of ancient Greek philosopher Celsus. Wikipedia:
"Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera (22 BC – AD 40) was a Roman-Phoenician soldier born in Sidon, whose tombstone was found in Bingerbrück, Germany, in 1859.
A historical connection from this soldier to Jesus of Nazareth has long been hypothesized by some scholars, based on the single claim of just one ancient Greek philosopher named Celsus, who, according to Christian writer Origen in his "Against Celsus" (Greek Κατὰ Κέλσου, Kata Kelsou; Latin Contra Celsum), was the author of a work entitled The True Word (Greek Λόγος Ἀληθής, Logos Alēthēs).
Celsus' work was lost but, in Origen's account of it, Jesus was depicted as the result of an affiliation (non-consensual or consensual) between his mother Mary and a renowned Roman figure in a time of great upheaval. He said that for this reason she was "accused of adultery but had the child by the leader named Panthera". Biblical scholar James Tabor claimed that Tiberius Pantera could have been serving in the region at the time of Jesus's conception, but more recent scholarship has shown this claim to be greatly doubtful. Christopher Zeichmann goes so far as to say: "Where precisely Pantera's unit was located during the years leading up to Jesus' conception is uncertain, but it is beyond doubt that it was not Judaea or Galilee."
Both the ancient Talmud and medieval Jewish writings and sayings reinforced this notion, referring to "Yeshu ben Pantera", which translates as "Jesus, son of Pantera". Tabor's hypothesis is considered highly unlikely by mainstream scholars given that there is little other evidence to support Pantera's paternity outside of the some Greek and Jewish texts. Some scholars and religious figures postulate Pantera was a Roman ancestor of Jesus but not his father.
Historically, the names Pantera and Yeshu were not unusual in the region and were in use among Jews and Gentiles.
2nd-century usage by Celsus
In the 2nd century, Celsus, a Greek philosopher, wrote that Jesus's father was a Roman soldier named Panthera. The views of Celsus drew responses from Origen, who considered it a fabricated story. Celsus' claim is only known from Origen's reply. Origen writes:
Let us return, however, to the words put into the mouth of the Jew, where "the mother of Jesus" is described as having been "turned out by the carpenter who was betrothed to her, as she had been convicted of adultery and had a child by a certain soldier named Panthera".
Marcus J. Borg and John Dominic Crossan state that given the antagonism of Celsus towards Christianity, his suggestion of the Roman parentage of Jesus might derive from the memory of Roman military operations suppressing a revolt at Sepphoris near Nazareth around the time of Jesus' birth. The "common legionary name" Panthera could have arisen from a satirical connection between the Greek words panthēr meaning "panther, various spotted Felidae" and parthenos meaning "virgin".
Jewish usage in the Middle Ages
Main articles: Toledot Yeshu and Jesus in the Talmud
The story that Jesus was the son of a man named Pantera is referred to in the Talmud, in which Jesus is widely understood to be the figure referred to as "Ben Stada":
It is taught that Rabbi Eliezer said to the Wise, "Did not Ben Stada bring spells from Egypt in a cut in his flesh?" They said to him, "He was a fool, and they do not bring evidence from a fool." Ben Stada is Ben Pantera. Rabbi Hisda said, "The husband was Stada, the lover was Pantera." The husband was "actually" Pappos ben Judah, the mother was Stada. The mother was Miriam "Mary" the dresser of women's hair. As we say in Pumbeditha, "She has been false to "satath da" her husband." (b. Shabbat 104b)
Peter Schäfer explains this passage as a commentary designed to clarify the multiple names used to refer to Jesus, concluding with the explanation that he was the son of his mother's lover "Pantera", but was known as "son of Stada", because this name was given to his mother, being "an epithet which derives from the Hebrew/Aramaic root sat.ah/sete' ('to deviate from the right path, to go astray, to be unfaithful'). In other words, his mother Miriam was also called 'Stada' because she was a sotah, a woman suspected, or rather convicted, of adultery." A few of the references explicitly name Jesus ("Yeshu") as the "son of Pandera": these explicit connections are found in the Tosefta, the Qohelet Rabbah, and the Jerusalem Talmud, but not in the Babylonian Talmud.
The Toledot Yeshu dates to the Middle Ages and appeared in Aramaic as well as Hebrew as an anti-Christian satirical chronicle of Jesus. It also refers to the name Pantera, or Pandera. The book accuses Jesus of illegitimate birth as the son of Pandera, and of heretical and at times violent activities along with his followers during his ministry.
Scholarly assessment
Raymond E. Brown states that the story of Panthera is a fanciful explanation of the birth of Jesus which includes very little historical evidence. James Tabor suggests that Celsus' information about Jesus' paternity is correct, and argues that Tiberius Julius Abdes Pantera's career places him in Judea as a young man around the time of Jesus' conception, so he may have been Jesus' father. This has not gained a wide consensus. Biblical scholar Maurice Casey rejected Tabor's hypothesis and states that Tabor has presented no evidence for Pantera's presence in the region, a conclusion affirmed by Christopher Zeichmann.
Bruce Chilton and Craig A. Evans state that the Toledot Yeshu consists primarily of fictitious anti-Christian stories based on the ongoing attempt of the Jews to discredit Jesus as their long-awaited Messiah, and that it offers no value to historical research on Jesus. The Blackwell Companion to Jesus states that the Toledot Yeshu has no historical facts and was perhaps created as a tool for warding off conversions to Christianity.
Throughout the centuries, both Christian and Jewish scholars have generally only paid minor attention to the Toledot Yeshu. Robert E. Van Voorst states that the literary origins of Toledot Yeshu cannot be traced with any certainty, and given that it is unlikely to have been written before the 4th century, it is far too late to include authentic remembrances of Jesus. The nature of the Toledot Yeshu as a parody of the Christian gospels is manifested by the claim that the Apostle Peter pretended to be Christian so he could separate them from the Jews and its portrayal of Judas Iscariot as a hero who posed as a disciple of Jesus in order to stop the Christians."
