Jesus was a wonder worker, John not.
Jesus taught in synagogues, John not.
Still, their ministries, or whatever they were, insurrections, insurgencies, out of power priestly and or Davidic Messianic royal uprisings, somehow ended up consolidated, under Jesus, after John's murder.
It seems that Jesus had a ministry down into Judea, at least according to John, perhaps even a synagogue, and Sanders gives this idea some credence.
That would explain the continuing presence of James, a Galilean, for decades, and other disciples, around Jerusalem, after Jesus' execution.
They later summarily rejected Paul's call to accept gentiles.
Who could blame them, back then?
After all, it had not been any part of Jesus' message at all.
