I, along, I am sure, with countless others, am so grateful for your incisive, fact-based comments, complete with citations for your sources.  You are exactly correct.  The bible gives us a historical, fact-based accurate narrative of every minute of the lives of Jesus and of the disciples, and we should most definitely keep foremost the historical accuracy and historical detail of all of those narratives as we go forward in making our decisions.  Thank you for this priceless help and perspective.
