Dan: u need to learn about literature, of which New Test. is one of the most glorious examples. Thus literature, the most elaborate and ambitious, is VEHICLE of philosophy. In New Test., following the older Old Test., it presents an allegoric account of (a) metaphysics, the objective (Aristotelian) reality, (b) following which is an ETHICS, this ethics so much idolized, admired, respected, revered, and even worshipped. Christian ethics is what makes New Test. and Christianity in general so famous as they obviously are, objects of tremendous and universal admiration.
Unfortunately, the metaphysical part of New Test. is overlooked, mis-represented, mis-understood, and ignored. (c) Note further, the New Test. story, such as it is, is presented much in elaborated DIALECTIC, esp. btwn Christ and the (satanic) Pharisees who preach the Talmudic "midrash" (interpretation), though formal Talmud hadn't been fully written-out till 500 AD in Babylon. Observe then the dialectic btwn objective view of Christ vs. (extreme) subjectivist of Pharisees.
Note further, New Test. is presented in way of story, epic, and myth, as most people were barely literate in those days, so Christ had to be adept in (a) speaking (rhetoric), and then (b) well-versed in the Old Test. literature so as to make things understandable to the people who understood things philosophic in way of what we call "religion," religion being something committed to memory and then practiced both in ritual and in daily life--religion then being something not only held within the intellect, but fully integrated (much as possible) throughout, body and spirit, intellect and emotion--this "religion" is still the case in present day for MOST PEOPLE, people in general having great difficulty w. formal philosophy, logic, science, etc.
Finally, regarding Easter, note the story requires this episode as the claim (Gosp. JOHN) is that Christ is God the Son, and only God is capable of such thing as resurrection. Hence the resurrection is the indication and proof for the readers and the people (as attested also by St. Paul) that Christ is God. Quit pretending New Test. and Gospels are presented as police-reports, text as mere accounting of facts and events--it's a STORY for purpose of conveying PHILOSOPHY, esp. in contrast and repudiation of the Pharisaic "Traditions of the Elders" which at the time was still mainly verbally understood among the Pharisees whom Christ reviled as gross heretics ("vipers and serpents"--Gosp. MATT, ch. 23).
Thus Christ defended what he held was original Mosaic Law--against the Pharisaic heretics--Christ merely re-stating, clarifying, and simplifying for the people.
