An acquaintance of mine was reading the gospels [not necessarily the rest of
the new testament] and he found an amazing parallel to MANY midrashim and
Aggados.  and therefore It seems obvious that the early Xtians spoke in the
dialect of  Pharisaic Judaism and not Sadducean dialect [ and probably not
the Essene either].  They were immersed in midrashic style mindset.
