NAZARETH, AD 13 Ezra, a prominent merchant and trader, announced today that he will move his family to Sepphoris. Rumors abound that the family is moving because Jesus ben Joseph rejected Ezra’s beautiful daughter, Rebecca. At her seventeenth birthday dinner, it is reported, the family appealed to Jesus to accept the hand of Rebecca. Jesus declined, stating that he was not free to enter into a relationship with any woman, other than one of simple brotherly regard and pure friendship. He told the family, however, that the offer they had made would cheer him all of his days. Ezra commented that he appreciated the sincerity of Jesus and his dedication to serving his people. “Jesus is too noble for us,” Ezra stated.
