one of the things i find really interesting about the gospel accounts of Jesus, is that he was always trying to stay on the downlow, and stay off the radar. He would say things like, "YOUR faith has healed you", and "dont tell anyone about this." when someone would get healed.

And when something crazy and supernatural would occur, he would tell his disciples, "dont tell anyone about this now." Totally unmotivated by fame and glory.

The Americanized Jesus and the persecuted Jesus are two very different people. The true Jesus rejected success and popularism. He was so unpopular that they crucified him. Not once is it mentioned in the Gospels that Jesus sought a crowd.

I think many people loved him. Many people he encountered wanted him gone though. Including his own hometown.
