#KnowledgeBit: The #Josephus Problem describes a scenario where people in a circle are eliminated every k-th person until only one remains, and the goal is to determine the survivor's initial position.

This mathematical puzzle, inspired by a historical account, can be solved using simulation or more efficiently with recursive or iterative formulas.

Were the #Pharisees Really Jesus’s Enemies?

#Jesus #Christianity #BibleStudy

The Pharisees appear throughout the #Gospels as opponents of Jesus—but how much do we actually know about them from antiquity? In this video, Dr. #RobynWalsh explains what our sources tell us (and don’t tell us) about the Pharisees. From #Josephus to Paul to early #Christian writings, much of what survives is filtered through outsiders—or even critics.

The Gospels position John as a precursor to #Jesus with his death preceding the crucifixion, while #Josephus seems to date John’s death at a somewhat later period after Jesus’ death.
