"And Jesus' followers had a selfish interest in building up his reputation."

Your words define the theatre of the absurd, Christine ! Selfish interest??

You define poverty, rejection, persecution and often cruel death as "selfish interest"? They were hounded, ridiculed, beaten and killed, first by their own Jewish kinsmen who rejected Jesus, and then by the pagan Romans.

These early Jewish Apostles and disciples gave their lives that we could have an accurate eyewitness account of the life and words of Jesus of Nazareth, and you call it "selfish".
