Alternativna svedočanstva o smrti Isusa iz Nazareta
Alternative Records on the Death of the Jesus of Nazareth

Summary/Abstract: In the article the authors are examinig the reliability of the Talmudic testimonies of the Sanhedrin trial of Jesus from Nazareth and his execution without any involvement of Roman autohrities. They are pointing at the resemblance of these testimonies with Paul’s words ‘Christ redeemed us from the curse of the Law by becoming a curse for us–because it is written, Everyone who is hung on a tree is cursed’. What Paul meant here was prescription intended to be implemented by Jewish and not by the Roman authorities (Romans knew nothing about cursing people they sentenced to the capital punishment). In that case the ‘offence’ (scandalon) of the ‘messiah hung on the tree’ (Christon estauromenon) becomes meaningful: it was the messiah himself that was executed and cursed by Sanhedrin.
