Common names



Ancient Burial Box Linked to Priest Who Played Part in Christ's Crucifixion


Very common names? Perhaps, but I would find it odd if the Caiaphus mentioned in the Gospels would name his son 'Jeshua' (or what becomes in English 'Jesus') unless he did it before the trial and execution of another, more famous Yeshua. It would be even greater coincidence if this Yeshua named his daughter Miriam, or Mary. It just seems too coincidental to believe. What are the odds?
