If one observes the context in [https://www.esv.org/Mark+14/ that verse and the previous one], it seems to suggest that, contrary to the common narrative of "the Jews rejecting Jesus," He must have been quite popular among the general Jewish populace. The Feast of Unleavened Bread was obviously a time of celebration for Jews, not Gentiles; since the chief priests and scribes were absolutely certain that killing Jesus at that moment would lead to such an outcry in concurrence with the festivity timing, it must imply that a substantial number of everyday Judeans ("uproar from ''the people''") in that time followed Christ. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 14:05, December 28, 2022 (EST)
== Mark 16:1 ==
In the [https://www.esv.org/Mark+16/ ESV], for example, it reads:
{{cquote|When the Sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, Mary the mother of James, and Salome bought spices, so that they might go and anoint him.|||Mark 16:1}}
The verse seems to indicate that the Sabbath was kept by Jesus's followers. Although most Christian denominations these days claim that the New Covenant abolishes the need for Sabbath observance, it would appear otherwise when reading between the lines of Scripture. —[[User:LT|<code><span style="background:#FF8181">'''LT'''</span></code>]] '''''[[User talk:LT|<sup>(Exodus 23:2)</sup>]]''''' Wednesday, 14:20, December 28, 2022 (EST)
