What evidence shows that many Jews believed Jesus was the Messiah?
Archaeological evidence supports that thousands of Jews became adherents of the belief that Jesus was the Messiah. They embraced this conviction, even while facing constant pressure from Judaizing Jews. Many Jews became believers that Jesus was indeed their Messiah and Christ.
Les explains that archeology supports the fact that thousands of Jews became adherents of the belief that Jesus was the Messiah. They embraced it, and though they were under constant pressure from the Judaizing Jews, a lot of Jews became believers that Jesus was indeed their Messiah, the Christ. This fits the surrounding setting where the Jewish believers' assemblies had rest throughout Judea, Galilee, and Samaria because the chief persecutor was now a saved believer; they were edified, walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, and were multiplied.
