Jesus lived more than 2,000 years ago in a place and culture very different from ours, with different preferences and customs that a person living in Jesus’ time would have instantly understood but we do not.

But they became enraged and discussed together what they might do to Jesus.

LUKE 6:9-11
When the Pharisees heard that he had silenced the Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them [a scholar of the law] tested him by asking, “Teacher, which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said to him, “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the greatest and the first commandment. The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself. The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.”
