This however was a very small area and covered only three years of work. John the Baptist preached in about the same area and probably worked no longer than Jesus. Do you know of any others as low ranking in status that has a larger record in history, should anyone even expect that individuals of their status (poor as they come) would ever have a historical record. I believe another reason that historical records on either are so few that, those perceived as trouble makers that upstage those who have great authority influence those who write that history. Is it not true that kings often threatened to kill those who would put them in bad light and so history is some what skewed from what is true.
So how did the bible survive all this?
