April 14 ~ Things in the Bible not really in the Bible…and a few surprises

 

Oops of the Day  

Jesus first went to the temple when he was 12 and had celebrated his bar-mitzva.

Luke 2:31-42  –  Matthew 2:19-23

Fact of the Day

No! Bar-Mitzva was first recorded in history in the 13th century in France.  Jesus’ parents went to the temple every year. The likely reason they took Jesus at age twelve was that cruel King ARCHELAUS was so mean (he had killed 3000 in the temple when Jesus was 11), he was banished to Gaul by Caesar. THEN, it was safe to take Jesus to Jerusalem.

22 But when Joseph heard that ARCHELAUS was reigning in Judea in place of his father Herod, he was afraid to go there. Having been warned in a dream, he withdrew to the district of Galilee, 23 and he went and lived in a town called Nazareth.”
