OK- we have lots of excuses for Jesus- BUT why didn't the disciples write their stories down? They let Paul, who was not privy to any part of Jesus' ministry write down his own version of Jesus' teachings, start his own churches and when they found out in Jerusalem they just told him "carry on", but leave our Jewish group alone. After Paul had been expanding his empire for a decade or more some unidentified writers finally started compiling the letters, sayings gospels and other oral tradition into some books - the four Gospels. It's a very messy set of books we have in the NT-
peace,
Moshe
