It seems clear that Jesus did not approve of the greed, corruption and hypocrisy of the priesthood, nor did he support the practice of making sacrifice in the Great Temple.
He mentioned this a few times, as in
{9:13} But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
John mentions that Jesus and/or His disciples were baptising along the Jordan, as in:
John 3:22-23 "After this Jesus and his disciples went into the region of Judea, where he spent some time with them baptizing. John was also baptizing in Aenon near Salim.
John 4:1-3 "Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard that Jesus was making and baptizing more disciples than John (although Jesus himself was not baptizing, just his disciples), he left Judea and returned to Galilee."
I feel sure that I have read or heard that Jesus once baptised some people in Jerusalem, but cannot find such passage now..... can anyone help with that?
But the big question is this: All those thousands collecting on the Genessaret shores, we the disciples baptising them, just as they had along the Jordan river?
I just wonder about these things, is all.
