Nicodemus defended Christ before the Jewish Sanhedrin which was an assembly of judges.
Nicodemus is most commonly known for being a secret follower of Jesus Christ. It is he who met Jesus at night in secrecy and was told that he must be born again in order to inherit the kingdom of God.

The faith of Jesus Christ was Jewish. Everyone in Israel back then were all Jewish.
Some of the disciples who were Pharisees include Nicodemus and Paul (formerly known as Saul). They were Jewish religious leaders who followed the teachings of the Pharisees before becoming followers of Jesus.
The majority of the population was Jewish.
That would be the Jewish Calendar. Subtract the current civilian year of 2011 from the current Jewish year of 5770 and you get the biblical date from the "creation" of Adam which was 3760 years before the birth of Christ, the second "Adam".
The same things they wore after he was born. Jesus plays no role in Judaism.
Jesus' secret disciple is often considered to be Nicodemus, a Pharisee who appears in the Gospel of John. He visited Jesus at night to discuss spiritual matters, indicating his desire to learn more while also fearing the repercussions of being associated with Jesus publicly. Nicodemus later defended Jesus before the Sanhedrin and helped prepare His body for burial, showcasing his loyalty and belief in Jesus despite the risks involved.
Nicodemus and the other rats were forced to participate in the experiments for a period of about a year before they managed to escape from the laboratory.
Before Christianity, people believed in God according to faith. Most were Jewish, but there were Jewish converts and those who just believed. The early believers simply were looking forward to the time of Christ, and according to Paul, they were justified by faith.
