Maybe of course the Torah will have a different version, but not reading Jewish, I cannot speak.!

But, since I and none of "You were There" it is hard to really say!

*bursts out laughing*

The Torah is written in Hebrew. . .not Jewish.
However, I have to say that the Torah is only composed of the Old Testament.

You guys are making me laugh today. This is fun.

He just pissed off to many people, say the Money Lenders (Loan Sharks in the Temple)

Stating that He was The Son Of God, going against all of the known treachings with his little group of Followers who would today be a Cult.

Also calling yourself the Son of God would not exactly endear yorself to the Roman authorities... that would put him on equal or greater terms than the Emperor. While the Romans where generally accepting of different religions, anything that directly challenged the authority of the Emperor and by extension the Imperial government would but squashed.

By the way historically Jesus and his followers would have been one of many "cults" that flourished at this time; most were anti-Roman, nationalistic, xenophobic, zeolots, or down right nutty (look in to it).

The Romans and Jewish people both played a part in the death of Jesus (he challenged the established authority of both); however blaming one or the other is overly simplistic and without much merit. The problem is that most people take the whole biblical period out-of context... (a prime example is that a lot of people think of Jesus as a white guy with blonde hair and blue eyes... he was Jewish too...).
