Jesus' messianic mission cannot be understood apart from the cross, which the disciples did not yet understand (vs. 31–33 and ch. 9 vs. 30–32). This theological explanation is supported by Matthew's explicit link between Pharisaic conspiracy to "destroy" [15] Jesus and the latter's command to his followers "not to make him known."
In the Druze faith, Jesus is considered one of God's important prophets and the Messiah, [44] [45] being among the seven prophets who appeared in different periods of history. [46] [47] The Druze venerate Jesus "the son of Joseph and Mary" and his four disciples, who wrote the Gospels. [48]

Jesus grew up in Galilee and much of his ministry took place there. [53] The languages spoken in Galilee and Judea during the 1st century AD include Jewish Palestinian Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek, with Aramaic being predominant. [54] [55] There is substantial consensus that Jesus gave most of his teachings in Aramaic [56] in the Galilean dialect ...
