Acts:3:1-26: Now Peter and John went up together into the temple at the hour of prayer, being the ninth hour.
2: And a certain man lame from his mother's womb was carried, whom they laid daily at the gate of the temple which is called Beautiful, to ask alms of them that entered into the temple;
3: Who seeing Peter and John about to go into the temple asked an alms.
4: And Peter, fastening his eyes upon him with John, said, Look on us.
5: And he gave heed unto them, expecting to receive something of them.
6: Then Peter said, Silver and gold have I none; but such as I have give I thee: In the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth rise up and walk.
7: And he took him by the right hand, and lifted him up: and immediately his feet and ankle bones received strength.
8: And he leaping up stood, and walked, and entered with them into the temple, walking, and leaping, and praising God.
9: And all the people saw him walking and praising God:
10: And they knew that it was he which sat for alms at the Beautiful gate of the temple: and they were filled with wonder and amazement at that which had happened unto him.
11: And as the lame man which was healed held Peter and John, all the people ran together unto them in the porch that is called Solomon's, greatly wondering.
12: And when Peter saw it, he answered unto the people, Ye men of Israel, why marvel ye at this? or why look ye so earnestly on us, as though by our own power or holiness we had made this man to walk?
13: The God of Abraham, and of Isaac, and of Jacob, the God of our fathers, hath glorified his Son Jesus; whom ye delivered up, and denied him in the presence of Pilate, when he was determined to let him go.
14: But ye denied the Holy One and the Just, and desired a murderer to be granted unto you;
15: And killed the Prince of life, whom God hath raised from the dead; whereof we are witnesses.
16: And his name through faith in his name hath made this man strong, whom ye see and know: yea, the faith which is by him hath given him this perfect soundness in the presence of you all.
17: And now, brethren, I wot that through ignorance ye did it, as did also your rulers.
18: But those things, which God before had shewed by the mouth of all his prophets, that Christ should suffer, he hath so fulfilled.
19: Repent ye therefore, and be converted, that your sins may be blotted out, when the times of refreshing shall come from the presence of the Lord;
20: And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:
21: Whom the heaven must receive until the times of restitution of all things, which God hath spoken by the mouth of all his holy prophets since the world began.
22: For Moses truly said unto the fathers, A prophet shall the Lord your God raise up unto you of your brethren, like unto me; him shall ye hear in all things whatsoever he shall say unto you.
23: And it shall come to pass, that every soul, which will not hear that prophet, shall be destroyed from among the people.
24: Yea, and all the prophets from Samuel and those that follow after, as many as have spoken, have likewise foretold of these days.
25: Ye are the children of the prophets, and of the covenant which God made with our fathers, saying unto Abraham, And in thy seed shall all the kindreds of the earth be blessed.
26: Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.

Judaism refers to the religion of the early Christians?
Judaism is the religion that was a precursor to Christians. The early Christians, namely the apostles, were Jewish because Jesus was still alive and Christianity had not been developed yet. Jesus himself was Jewish.
Which Jewish practice was accepted by early Christians?
Almost all of them.
Did the early Christians like the Zealots?
They did not operate in the same spheres, so there is limited knowledge of how the early Christians regarded them. However, it is likely that they had unfavorable view of the Zealots since the Zealots were antagonizing the Roman Authorities. The Roman Authorities at that period did not notice the difference between the different Jewish and quasi-Jewish factions, of which early Christians were a part, resulting in increased Christian persecution in the aftermath of the Zealots' revolt.
Hatred of jews because they practice the jewish faith?
that was why early Christians were antisemitic.
What is septaugint?
Ancient Greek translation of the Jewish scriptures. This was an Old Testament source for early Christians.
Why did Jewish-Christians distance themselves from the Jewish community?
The Jewish communities of the 1st Century did not accept the claims of the Jewish-Christians (the Early Church) that Jesus was the Messiah as prophesied by the Old Testament. As a result, they wanted to form a separate religious community to pray and believe as they saw fit.
What are Jewish beliefs concerning marriage?
Traditional Judaism sees marriage as something instituted by God; something to be valued and encouraged. It is central to any traditional Jewish community, as the traditional family is the building-block of the Jewish community. Jews are encouraged to marry in their early twenties and have children.
What was two ways Christians showed their devotion for their faith?
This question is too vague. But the early Christians first had to go through all the Jewish rights before they became Christians. Hope that helps.
Did Saint Veronica have a religion?
St. Veronica was a Jewish woman who, according to tradition, later became one of the early Christians.
Christianity was a movement within which religious tradition?
The early Christians were Jews. Jesus was referred to as a rabbi and according to the Gospels was quite knowledgeable about Jewish law at an early age.
What tensions arose between the early Christians who were nearly all Jewish and Jews?
Most Jews at the time, and for centuries afterward, never heard of Jesus. But for those who did, the Christian narratives quote him as saying things that are not in keeping with Jewish tradition and beliefs. The primary tension between early Christians and Jews was whether or nor Jesus was the Messiah.
What Jewish group stayed aloof from politics and preached that the end of the world was imminent?
That sounds like the Essenes. The Essenes were a tiny breakaway group in the Judean desert, some 2000 years ago, who interpreted parts of the Jewish Bible and some of the Torah's commands in non-traditional ways. They were criticized by the Jewish Sages and shunned by the great majority of the populace. They disappeared at the time of the Second Destruction (or were subsumed by the early Christians).
