   A. You are right: Jesus was a Jew. He was born a Jew, brought up a Jew, was   
   steeped in the Jewish   
   Scriptures and, as we read in Luke (4:16), went to the synagogue on the   
   Sabbath day "according to his   
   custom."   
      
   During the temptations in the desert (Mt 4:1-11), Jesus quotes three times   
   from the Old Testament book   
   of Deuteronomy. In the only passage in which he reads, Jesus unrolls a scroll   
   in the synagogue at   
   Nazareth, quotes from the Book of Isaiah and refers the passage to himself (Lk   
   4:16-21).   
      
   In several Gospel narratives, Jesus claims divine prerogatives (in Mark 2,   
   where he forgives the   
   paralytic's sins before curing him). Because of that, some Jews accused Jesus   
   of blasphemy and rejected   
   him outright.   
      
   Nevertheless, in the early years following the death of Christ, Christianity   
   was viewed as a sect within   
   Judaism.
