Crucified man had prior run-in with authorities.
Born (possibly out of wedlock?) in a stable, this jobless thirty-something of Middle Eastern origin had had previous run-ins with local authorities for disturbing the peace, and had become increasingly associated with the members of a fringe religious group.
He had had prior run-ins with local authorities — most notably, an
incident of vandalism in a community center when he wrecked the tables
of several licensed money-lenders and bird-sellers. He had used violent
language, too, claiming that he could destroy a gathering place and
rebuild it.
At the time of his arrest, he had not held a fixed residence for years. Instead, he led an itinerant lifestyle, staying at the homes of friends and advocating the redistribution of wealth.
He had come to the attention of the authorities more than once for his unauthorized distribution of food, disruptive public behavior, and participation in farcical aquatic ceremonies.
Some say that his brutal punishment at the hands of the state was out of proportion to and unrelated to any of these incidents in his record.
But after all, he was no angel.
He was the Son Of God!!!
