16. What treasurer? This is news to me.

I am not familiar with that apostle.

The temples in those times were banks basically. Jesus’ great sin against the Roman hierarchy was throwing the moneylenders out of the Temple.

Did you know Christians fought and killed each other in the way back about whether Jesus needed to defecate? They also fought about whether he owned anything. A lot of hokus pokus bogus to kill one’s neighbor in my humble opinion.
