Tertullian AD — wrote in Adversus Judaeos that Britain had already received and accepted the Gospel in his lifetime, writing, "all the limits of the Spains, and the diverse nations of the Gauls, and the haunts of the Britons—inaccessible to the Romans, but subjugated to Christ. Tertullian does not say how the Gospel came to Britain before AD However, Eusebius of Caesarea , AD — , one of the earliest and most comprehensive of church historians, wrote of Christ's disciples in Demonstratio Evangelica, saying that "some have crossed the Ocean and reached the Isles of Britain.

The writings of Pseudo- Hippolytus include a list of the seventy disciples whom Jesus sent forth in Luke 10, one of which is Aristobulus of Romans Smith critically examined the accretion of legends around Joseph of Arimathea, by which the poem hymn of William Blake And did those feet in ancient time is commonly held as "an almost secret yet passionately held article of faith among certain otherwise quite orthodox Christians" and Smith concluded "that there was little reason to believe that an oral tradition concerning a visit made by Jesus to Britain existed before the early part of the twentieth century".

This story possibly grew out of the fact that the Jews under the Angevin kings farmed the tin of Cornwall. Dobson — made a case for the authenticity of the Glastonbury legenda.

The legend that Joseph was given the responsibility of keeping the Holy Grail was the product of Robert de Boron , who essentially expanded upon stories from Acts of Pilate. In Boron's Joseph d'Arimathe , Joseph is imprisoned much as in the Acts , but it is the Grail that sustains him during his captivity.

Upon his release he founds his company of followers, who take the Grail to Britain, though Joseph himself does not go. The origin of the association between Joseph and Britain is not entirely clear, though in subsequent romances such as Perlesvaus , Joseph himself travels to Britain, bringing relics with him.

In the Lancelot-Grail Cycle, a vast Arthurian composition that took much from Robert, it is not Joseph but his son Josephus who is considered the primary holy man of Britain. Later authors sometimes mistakenly or deliberately treated the Grail story as truth. Such stories were inspired by the account of John of Glastonbury , who assembled a chronicle of the history of Glastonbury Abbey around and who wrote that Joseph, when he came to Britain, brought with him vessels containing the blood and sweat of Christ without using the word Grail.

There is no reference to this tradition in ancient or medieval text. John of Glastonbury further claims that King Arthur was descended from Joseph, listing the following imaginative pedigree through King Arthur's mother:.

Controversial Questions About Jesus and His Heirs

When Joseph set his walking staff on the ground to sleep, it miraculously took root, leafed out, and blossomed as the " Glastonbury Thorn ". The retelling of such miracles encouraged the pilgrim trade at Glastonbury until the Abbey was dissolved in , during the English Reformation. The mytheme of the staff that Joseph of Arimathea set in the ground at Glastonbury , which broke into leaf and flower as the Glastonbury Thorn is a common miracle in hagiography. Such a miracle is told of the Anglo-Saxon saint Etheldreda:.

Continuing her flight to Ely, Etheldreda halted for some days at Alfham, near Wintringham, where she founded a church; and near this place occurred the "miracle of her staff.

On waking she found the dry staff had burst into leaf; it became an ash tree, the "greatest tree in all that country;" and the place of her rest, where a church was afterwards built, became known as "Etheldredestow. Medieval interest in genealogy raised claims that Joseph was a relative of Jesus; specifically, Mary 's uncle, or according to some genealogies, Joseph's uncle. A genealogy for the family of Joseph of Arimathea and the history of his further adventures in the east provide material for Holy Grail romances Estoire del Saint Graal , Perlesvaus , and the Queste del Saint Graal.

Arimathea itself is not otherwise documented, though it was "a town of Judea" according to Luke Arimathea is usually identified with either Ramleh or Ramathaim-Zophim , where David came to Samuel 1 Samuel chapter From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

This is such a sweet story about a little boy by the name of Shem who has come along with his father Jude to visit his grandmother Mary. As the story unfolds the little boy wants to speak to his grandmother about the memories he has of his Uncle Jesus and how he misses him.

Questions and Answers About Jesus and His Family

There were certain memories of other instances that the boy remembers such as how he and his friends went to hear his uncle speak and how some of the disciples were a little put off by their attendance. Shem described how Jesus would hear none of it and said that the children could stay and listen. Shem was delighted that Jesus gave each one a special blessing. Mary also described a time and certain events that some were unaware of.

About how the angel came and told her that she would bear a son and call Him Jesus.

She also spoke to Shem's uncles about the angels announcing Jesus' birth to the shepherds. Then she proceeded to tell Shem about the three wise men that came to visit Jesus as a baby, how they brought Him gifts, and she showed the three empty boxes to Shem. I always wondered about Jesus' family and what it would be like to take a moment and step into their world. I'm sure they were much like the rest of us but so much more blessed than we are; to have known such a wonderful King.

The opinions I have expressed are my own. November 30, - Published on Amazon. Here is what the publisher had to say: I started reading this book to my kids.

Joseph of Arimathea - Wikipedia

I enjoy books that cause further discussion with my kids. But I prefer ones that don't confuse. In this book are a few items that I found to be a stretch on the biblical accounts. Uncle Jesus talks about Jesus' older brothers who were Mary's children. This would negate the virgin birth. If John's Gosepl is any indication, Jesus hung out at Bethany, His step-aunt Mary Magdalene's house, where her younger brother and Jesus used to work on the gardens facing the Temple Mount on the upper flank of Olivet.

Martha had married, but was widowed and returned to Bethany. Who were Jesus' closest relatives? Who was related to Jesus by marriage, but not blood? Jesus' aunt Salome was mother of Peter's wife. So Jesus was related to Peter, Andrew, and their father Jonah by marriage. One of Jesus' sisters was wed at Cana to Simon Zealotes. Jesus' step-first-cousin Anna, daughter of Mary Magdalene, wed Stephen, the first martyr, and tradition says she remarried into a British royal line of the time. Who else was related to Jesus? Also, by marriage to Stephen's father's family, which was quite extensive on Cyprus, where they were Levites in the copper trade.

Are there any other more distant relatives of Jesus in the New Testament? Jesus' grandmother Hannah "St. Anne" , widowed in her 30's 1 BC , went to Britain and married a Silurian prince, who is said to have been ancestor of "Pope" Linus and his sister Claudia, wife of Paul's brother Rufus, father of four saints who were martyred in Rome. Was the New Testament about a family fued? The house of David's royal claims Jesus' Family were opposed by two Hasmonean lines, two Zadokite Sadducean priestly lines, Roman royal families, and the Edomites of Herod's line.

This free-for-all declined as various lines died out. Today, Jesus Himself is the only generally-known surviving Claimant to the throne whose genealogy is documented, but He would have to physically return to prove He is still alive. Were Jesus and John the Baptist Essenes?

Jesus was occupied working for his uncle and John was legally exiled across the Jordan from the Essenes. It is difficult to see why either would join them, based upon the first-person accounts of the Essene factions given by Josephus. When was Jesus crucified? Thursday, April 26, 31 AD, according to historical and astronomical evidence. Most peopel and most scholars have overlooked this date because of the false assumption that the eve of a sabbath is always Friday.

Once this is understood, as this article shows, all the known biblical and historical and astronomical data align. There is more evidence than we can include in this one article. How was Jesus crucified?
