RE: The Sign of Jonah and the Sign of the Son of Man
Talmud Sanhedrin 43a
" It is taught: On the eve of Passover they hung Yeshu and the crier went forth for forty days beforehand declaring that "Yeshu is going to be stoned for practicing witchcraft, for enticing and leading Israel astray. Anyone who knows something to clear him should come forth and exonerate him." But no one had anything exonerating for him and they hung him on the eve of Passover. Ulla said: Would one think that we should look for exonerating evidence for him? He was an enticer and G-d said (Deuteronomy 13:9) "Show him no pity or compassion, and do not shield him." Yeshu was different because he was close to the Government. [Royal Family of Israel] " - 30 AD
He was accused and assumed guilty until proven innocent, sounds like things have not changed that much over the centuries.
Interesting that they had the Romans crucify Him, rather than stoning Him.
