Abstract
Jesus lived in a time period called second temple Judaism. During the lifetime of Jesus, Judea, where Jerusalem was located, and Galilee, where Jesus lived and taught, were separate countries under Roman rule. Though dominated by Rome the Jews in those countries had a certain amount of autonomy and religious freedom. The temple in Jerusalem provided a focus for religious worship, and the priesthood there had the power to enforce religious law.
In the second part of the first century some Jews in these areas rebelled against Rome. In 70 C.E. the temple in Jerusalem was destroyed, and the Jews in those areas fled to other countries in as scattering called the Diaspora. After the destruction of the temple, Judaism began to revolve around the teachers or rabbis, and the Rabbinic Judaism we are familiar with today was born. Rabbinic Judaism would thrive and evolve in Galilee over the next several centuries.
