- Alexander the Great had
- conquered Israel 300 years
- before Jesus was born.
- Alexander wanted every-
- body in his empire to speak
- Greek and to act like
- Greeks, but many Jews
- didn't want to have anything
- to do with Greek ideas but
- wanted to stick with God's
- Law. They came to be
- known as the Pharisees.
-
- The problem was that after
- a while they began to think
- that keeping God's law was
- more important than loving
- God or loving other people.
