He regularly attended synagogue (Luke
4:16), and His teaching was respected by
the other Jews of His day (Luke 4:15).
He taught in the Jewish Temple in
Jerusalem (Luke 21:37), and if He were
not a Jew, His going into that part of the
Temple would simply not have been
allowed (Acts 21:28- 30 ).
Jesus also displayed the outward
signs of being an observant Jew. He
wore tzitzit (tassles) on His clothing
(Luke 8:44; Matthew 14:36) to serve as
a reminder of the commandments
(Numbers 15:37- 39 ).
