There were 3 serious Jewish revolts between 66 and 135 AD. By the end the Jews were quite unpopular. Coincidentally ( or not ) it is around 140 that xtians become noticeable to the Greco-Romans.

BTW, what has any of this to do with Ehrman's point that your "inerrant" gospels contradict themselves about the day that your god boy died? I understand why you keep trying to change the subject but it is my job to keep dragging you back to face reality.
Did not try to change the subject or anything else, I live and face reality every day the biggest difference between you and myself on this matter is I do it with God and not alone and for me it's a sound choice.
After reading all four gospels I see that they are all in agreement that Christ was crucified on Friday the day of preparation for the Sabbath.
God loves those who believe and those who do not and the same goes for me, you have no choice in this matter. That puts the matter of total free will to rest.
