The first thing which I have been thinking about because of the times is that there is no date to specify Jesus' birth. When did it become common to celebrate his birth on the 25th of December? In fact, there isn't even a Jewish calendar date for his birth. Perhaps it is mentioned in the other gospels. Secondly, knowing what eventually occurred because of Jesus, I find it funny that when he preaches all these people to be hypocrites, he has no idea that in the future, people do even bigger hypocrisies in his name.
The Last Supper appears in these pages, and I didn't know that it was actually the Passover meal. There are a couple of things that are confusing however. When they say high priests, are they Jewish high priests, or pagan high priests of the Roman Empire? It is never clear whether the people who kill him are Jews or Romans. After reading more, I now understand the situation. It was the Jewish men and priests that wanted to kill Jesus, but they needed the Romans to do it. It's also curious that Judas hangs himself after he sees what will happen to Jesus. Didn't he know what he was getting himself into? He literally sold Jesus for thirty silver pieces.
In the end, I recognize a lot of things. The first is of course, Mary Magdalene. I read "The Da Vinci Code," which states that Mary Magdalene wasn't in fact a prostitute, but Jesus' wife. While she appears here, there is no mention of either. The second is "el padre, el hijo y el espiritu santo." I understand that it comes when Jesus tells his disciples what to preach and how to continue his teachings.
