Translations:Did Jesus really support the death penalty for cursing a parent?/3/en
From Theonomy Wiki
We begin with Matthew 15, where the scribes (who were the "law-experts" of the first century) had traveled from Jerusalem to Gennesaret (a region near Galilee). This shows how significantly they treated Jesus. No scribe is going to leave Jerusalem to go nit-pick your average street-preacher. This would be like a New York Constitutional law professor traveling to the Second Baptist Church of Smalltown, USA because they heard him saying something "subversive." The scribes obviously considered Jesus a threat.
