Episode Seventeen: Pentecost in 33
After the death of Jesus over Passover, some of his followers began to make fantastical claims. At Pentecost, Simon Peter addressed Jewish pilgrims about these beliefs, leading some to join the sect of the Nazorean.

Redemption would come from Mount Zion (Isa 2:2-4; 59:20, the latter cited in Rom 11:26).
"Maranatha" (1 Cor 16:22; Didache 10:14)
"Afterward he [Jesus] journeyed from one town and village to another, preaching and proclaiming the good news of the kingdom of God. Accompanying him were the Twelve and some women who had been cured of evil spirits and infirmities, Mary, called Magdalene, from whom seven demons had gone out, Joanna, the wife of Herod’s steward Chuza, Susanna, and many others who provided for them out of their resources. (Luke 8:1-3; NABRE)
Kepha, the Aramaic term for ‘rock,’ had not been used for a personal name or even a nickname for any other person prior to that time. Yet, the biblical scholar J. Fitzmyer argues that in the 5th cent BCE there is evidence that it was used as a name (papyrus from Elephantine in Egypt). Fitzmyer also notes that this does not prove the word was used as a proper name among Palestinian Jews in the 1st century CE.
James, Jesus’ brother claimed to have witnessed Jesus risen from the dead (1 Cor 15:7).
During Jesus' time on earth, James and Jesus’ other brothers did not believe Jesus was the Messiah (John 7:5).
At one time early in Jesus’ ministry, his family went to get him, thinking that he was mad, or literally, ‘out of his mind’ (Mark 3:21). When informed that Jesus’ brothers, sisters, and mother were there to get him, Jesus replied with a question, “Who is my mother, and who are my brothers?” Pointing to his disciples, he replied to his own question with a peculiar aphorism and said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother” (Matt 12:48-50).
Some of Jesus's family members included Joses, Simon and Jude as well as sisters (cf. Matt 13:55-56).
James and John, sons of Zebedee, had also been given a nickname in Aramaic by Jesus: “Boanerges,” which means ‘sons of thunder.’ (Cf. Luke 9:54; Mk 3:17)
The story of the healing of Peter's mother-in-law is at Mark 1:29-31.
Jesus had said that the judgment was coming and that there were some among them who would see it (Mark 9:1; Matt 16:28; Luke 9:27; cf Mark 13:30; 1 Thess 4:17).
Jesus told the high priest Caiaphas that he would see Jesus' return as the Son of Man on the clouds of heaven (Mark 14:62).
The disciples believed Jesus would remain in heaven until a future date appointed by God (Acts 3:21).
See Acts 2 for some of the events at Pentecost.
