Where in the Bible does it say that Jesus was a Jew?
Jesus is described throughout the four New Testament gospels as being a Jew.Matthew 1:1-17 and Luke 3:23-38 give the genealogy of Jesus, with King David and Abraham as ancestors. Luke's version is slightly different, possibly because it contains some of the forefathers of Mary. This is important, as in the oldest code used in Judaism to religiously define a Jew, the Jewish faith can only be derived from a Jewish mother.If we accept the historicity of Jesus, then he was a Jew descended from some of the most important Jews of Israel, living in the then Jewish land of Judea / Palestine, who studied Jewish law closely enough to be called Rabbi (Master/Teacher) (John 3:2, 4:31 & 6:25). He claimed to have come to fulfill "the Law" (Matthew 5:17). He worshipped in the Temple from the first time his parents took him to Jerusalem at Passover (Luke 2:39-41).Even his Last Supper was celebrating the Jewish festival of Passover.There are, however, some that claim, for various reasons, that Jesus was not a Jew. This is often because he sought to change the strict, codified, "Old Testament" version of Judaism. Unfortunately, there are also some that seem to take offence, for outwardly religious or racial reasons, that the basis of "their" Christian faith was Jewish: they seem to take the vehement opinion that he was not Jewish. It is difficult to see how history, geography and the Gospels could lead one to the same conclusion.See also:Luke 6:1-5, in which the Pharisees are outraged that Jesus and his Jewish followers appear to be breaking the rules of the Sabbath.Matthew 21:8-9, in which the people of Jerusalem acclaim Jesus as the "Son of David" ( the King of Israel) on Palm Sunday.John 2:15 (and similar accounts in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke), when Jesus objects strongly to the presence of moneychangers in the Temple, which, he points out, should be "a house of prayer".Luke 4:16, in which Jesus goes to the synagogue on the Sabbath "as His custom was" and got up to read there.
Who is Judas?
Judas Iscariot is considered to be one of the 12 disciples and part of a group called the Zealots. They wanted the physical overthrow of the Roman rule and local Jewish rule to take over. Some believe that the betrayal of Jesus in the garden was a ploy to force Jesus' hand and get Him to act on setting up the kingdom He promised. Judas identified Jesus in the dark to the soldiers and was given 30 pieces of silver. He, to this day, has his name besmirched because of it and went out and committed suicide without repentance. Although Peter denied knowing Jesus at the execution he repented and his name is praised.
In the Christian scriptures what do the words 'I am' mean?
AnswerWhereas the synoptic gospels do not claim Jesus to be divine, John's Gospel makes a special point of showing him to be so. Of course, it is not possible merely to repeat the assertion, but John frequently used plays on words in the Greek language. And so, the words "I am" have special significance in John's Gospel.When the Jewish authorities came asking for Jesus, he answered "I am", at which they went backwards and fell to the ground (John 18:5,6). In English, this reaction of the authorities does not make sense, nor does it in Aramaic, the language Jesus would have spoken. John wrote in Greek, using the absolute form of 'ego eimi', which is the Greek translation in the Septuagint for 'Yahweh', based on a possible meaning of the tetragrammaton (YHWH). When read in the original Greek, Jesus has called himself God.Again at 8:23-24: "And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above; ye are from this world; I am not of this world. I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins; for if ye believe not that I AM (he), ye shall die in your sins." The King James Version (KJV) says "I am he" ('he' is in italics to show that it is not a literal translation), while some other translations retain the phrase as just "I am". In this passage, Jesus was not only saying that the disciples must believe that he is God ("I am" - when in the absolute form), but also saying that he is not of this world.
Where is on Bible that some day stones will talk?
It doesn't say that exactly. The reference to stones talking is found at Luke 19:40 and it was made by Jesus as he was riding into Jerusalem for the last time before he was killed. The crowds of people were calling out to him using the words that were prophesied to be spoken in at least 2 prophecies concerning Jesus as the Messiah: Psalms 118:26 and Zechariah 9:9. Some of the Jewish religious leaders (the Pharisees) objected to the crowds doing this and told Jesus to shut them up, but Jesus knew that the people were fulfilling prophecies that were going to be fulfilled one way or another and that's when he said ,"if these people remained silent then the stones would cry out".
Which book of the Bible contains the story about Jesus at age twelve?
AnswerLuke 2:43-48 talks of Jesus at the age of twelve discussing the scriptures in the Temple. This passage has very close parallels with a similar story that Josephus told about himself, suggesting a link between the two stories, but some say that proud Jewish parents of the first century probably often told similar stories about their children.
Which religious groups were against Jesus in his time?

Why is Jesus a Jew And some people are not?
There are two ways that a person can be Jewish - either by being born to a Jewish mother (or, in some modern communities, to a Jewish father - though this is not strictly in keeping with Jewish law) or by conversion. Jesus was born to Mary, who was Jewish (as was her husband Joseph) and so he was a Jew. Since not everyone has a Jewish mother and not everyone has converted to Judaism, not everybody is Jewish.

Why were there eleven instead of twelve disciples in Matthew 28 16-20?
If you recall, it was Judas who betrayed Jesus for some silver coins. Judas was one of the twelve originally but committed suicide after he betrayed Christ to the Jewish authorities, hence the eleven disciples. Matthias was later appointed to replace Judas.
