==Early history of Messianic Judaism==

Many people assume that Messianic Judaism originated from Christianity, or that it is a hybrid religion formed comparatively recently by combining Jewish and Christian beliefs and practices. However, Messianic Judaism predates Christianity by several decades, and Christianity evolved from the Messianic Judaism of the first century. Messiah Yeshua and his [[disciple]]s (''talmidim'') were all Jews, and did not convert to another religion; furthermore, as the [[Bible]] clearly states He came to earth to be the prophesied Messiah of Judaism, not to form a new religion.

Following Messiah Yeshua's death and resurrection, his messiahship was proclaimed by these Jewish followers, called Nazarenes, who continued to observe Jewish law and worship in the [[synagogue]]. [[Acts of the Apostles|Acts]] informs us that they were based in [[Jerusalem]] under the leadership of [[Saint Peter|Simon bar Yona]]. As members of this group began to travel in order to spread the [[Gospel]], it began to drawm more members from among the [[Samaritans]] and provinces.
