PLEASE READ THE MESSAGE IN THE PICTURE FIRST.
MORE information:
The TALMUD is considered the more important of the rabbinical writings. It is made up of the Mishna, which are the oral traditions of Judaism, and the Gemara are their commentaries (which were written in the Aramaic, by the way).
They are not a good source of historical information of what actually took place, but more of what Robert Stein called “an idealized rendering of how things should have taken place if the later rabbinic understanding of the law had been in force.” (from “Jesus the Messiah: A Survey of the Life of Christ”, published in 1996)
The Talmud actually contains several references to Jesus, or “Yeshu” as His name is in Aramaic.
Several pagan sources (Greek/Roman) such as Pliny the Younger, Tacitus, and Suetonius, to name a few, had referenced the Lord Jesus in their writings. Josephus, who was a Jewish historian, also included quite a few references about Jesus in his books.
But all these references, though helpful to validate that there truly was a person called Jesus of Nazareth (for there are still people walking this earth in the 21st-century that think Jesus was nothing but a mythological person or legendary figure), they are fewer in number and more or less as Stein said, secondary in nature.
First and foremost are always going to be the Christian sources of which is both the Old and New Testaments. The Gospels tell us the most about the Lord Jesus’ life, ministry, death, and resurrection.
But though from the books of Acts through Revelation, there isn’t as much information about Jesus, there is enough that the Apostles Paul, Peter, John, and the writer of Hebrews included, that also helps to validate what was written in the accounts of the four Gospel writers.
And then also last, but not least the traditions of, for example, the Roman Catholic Church, their catechism, and any other Orthodox traditional teachings, though they may be helpful, they do not take the place of NOR do they come before, God’s Holy Written Word.
Bottom line-READ, STUDY, and MEDITATE on GOD’s 📖Word FIRST, and let HIM be your final WORD on all matters in this life.
