Are you kidding? A man walking on water, healing the sick with a touch of his hand, raising the dead, feeding thousands of people with a basket of fish.... these aren't stories that would have been told far and wide? Something like this would have spread like wildfire. Sick and infirm people would have come for hundreds of miles to be healed! And you expect us to believe that what he did "wasn't widely known"? I love it when believers want to tell us that Jesus was so famous that the Romans had to execute him, but he was so little known that people living 20 miles away never heard of him.
Quote: The Jewish Pharisees routinely threatened people for talking about Jesus Christ because they viewed Jesus as a threat to their power base.
