db103 the Pharisees were a kind of reform movement

within
the Jewish people that was centered on Yerushalayim & Judaea. The pharisees sought to convert other Jews to their way of thinking about G d & the Torah, a way of thinking that incorporated seeming changes in the written Torah's practices that were mandated by what the Pharisees called "the tradition of the Elders."

The justification of these reforms in the name of an oral Torah, a tradition passed down by the Elders from Sinai on, would have been experienced by many traditional Jews as a radical change, especially when it involved changing the traditional ways that they & their ancestors had kept the Torah for generations immemorial!

At least some of these pharisaic innovations may very well have represented changes in religious practice that took place during the Baby-lonian Exile, while the skews who remained "in the land" continued their ancient practices. It is quite plausible, therefore, that other Jews,much as the Galilean Yehoshua, would reject angrily such ideas as an affront to the Torah & as sacrilege?

Yeshu's Judaism was a conservative reaction against some radical innovations in the Law stemming from the Pharisees & Scribes of Yeru-shalayim. The Gospel of Mark provides the bedrock for this new understanding of Yesh, one with consequences not only for how we understand that Gospel but also for our reading the Gospels more generally.

In the 20th century a new historical notin of the relations of the Gospels o one another began to form & is now held in most (but not all) scholarly quarters. Mark is now considered the earliest of the Gospels by most scholars today, who date it to some time right after the destruction of the Temple in A.D./CE 70!
