The name of the pharisee who came late in the night to see Jesus was Nicodemus. He came late at night to avoid other pharisees from seeing him , as he wanted to ask Jesus a few questions.

Did John lean on the breast of Jesus at the table?

In John's gospel, the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on the breast of Jesus. Late in the second century, Ireneus identified the "disciple whom Jesus loved"as John, one of the twelve, as a result of which the fourth gospel became known as John's Gospel. The scene in which the "disciple whom Jesus loved" leaned on Jesus is not mentioned in any of the earlier gospels, but if Ireneus was correct, then we could say that it was John.

Is it true that the New Testaments was written centuries after the alleged time of Jesus?

It is generally accepted that the four Gospels were written sometime before 100 AD. Some of the Epistles may date from as late as 150 AD - but nothing is credibly dated as "centuries" after Jesus.


What day was Jesus' resurrection?

Holy Saturday is the ultimate Sabbath day as it is said Jesus 'rested' in his tomb on this day. If he died on the cross on Good Friday and 'some of the friends of Jesus and his mother had to wait for permission from Pontius Pilate to take his body down', it is likely that he was placed in the tomb late on Good Friday or in the early morning of Holy saturday.


Why are there differences in Luke chapter 7 and John chapter 12?

A:One of the differences is in the story of the woman bringing ointment in an alabaster box, to anoint Jesus. There are actually three versions of this story in the gospels. Mark chapter 14 says a woman brought an alabaster box of ointment and anointed Jesus at the house of Simon the leper, late in the mission of Jesus.Luke 7:36-50 says a sinful woman anointed the feet of Jesus from an alabaster box of ointment at the house of Simon, but this time Simon was a Pharisee rather than an outcast leper.John 12:1-8 says that Mary, sister of Martha and Lazarus anointed the feet of Jesus with ointment at the start of the final week, but earlier than in Mark's Gospel.Pope Gregory the Great decided in the sixth century that Mary, sister of Martha must be Mary Magdalene and that she and the sinful woman were the same person. Thus Mary Magdalene becomes a prostitute, or whore. This decision more or less brings the stories together, without really explaining the differences.We know that the account in Luke is based on Mark's version, but the author chose to elaborate, making her a sinful woman, thus emphasising Jesus' message of forgiveness. We also know that John was loosely based on Luke, but John's theology is different to that of Luke and it gives the role of anointing Jesus to his friend Mary.
