Is there any record of who that teacher would have been or Jesus, being God, was all the teaching he would have formally had? I know at one point, the student will ask a Rabbi if they are worthy to be a follower. Did Jesus ever do this?

I have been trying to discern Jesus in his jewish context, especially since i will be teaching on passover in my church in a few weeks. I have one pastor on our staff that argues that it is impossible to understand the judaism of the first century because there is not such thing as 'monolithhic judaism.' Therefore, he claims that Jesus was not a 'rabbi' and that we assume too much when we impose ideas on him (most of which he claims come in after 70AD). Thanks for giving me more thoughts on this and i look forward to your book... Thanks for this great post!
