1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 — Paul identifies the Jews who killed Jesus as the same people persecuting the early church

Skeptics Wrongly Claim Apostle Paul Didn’t Know Jesus 00:19:30 – 00:20:31

Paul's reference to Jesus's killers as earthly, identifiable people further anchors Jesus in physical history.

1 Thessalonians 2:14-15 reads: '...you suffered the same things from your own countrymen as they did from the Jews who killed both the Lord Jesus and the prophets and drove us out.' Mike's point is that Paul refers to real, identifiable human agents who killed Jesus — not mythological actors. These same people were persecuting the early church in Jerusalem, confirming the earthly, historical nature of Jesus's death.
