Historical Questions!


1) What did resurrection mean back then? The Sadducees believed that there is no such thing as resurrection at all. They went so far to say that there are no such thing as angels or demons. The pharisees believed in physical resurrection back then. In this context, Jesus is talking about a spiritual resurrection. According to Jewish Law, people would use lambs blood to cover their sins. But Jesus knew that his blood would cover everyone's sins.
2) Who is Martha? Martha was the sister and Mary. Mary and Martha were friends of Jesus. Together they are well known within the bible. Mary was looked at as the scholarly, and more spiritual. Martha was looked at as the homemaker and more ‘uptight’.
