Singles cursed - "The fact that I am superior to my colleagues is because I married at the age of sixteen...What is the appropriate age? From sixteen until twenty-two, and some say from eighteen until twenty-four" - Rav Chisda (217 - 309) "If one is twenty years old and has not yet married a woman, all of his days will be in a state of sin concerning sexual matters" - Rav Houna (216-297 AD) "When will he marry a woman? Once he reaches the age of twenty and has not married, "he is cursed and God is no longer concerned about him" - Abba ben Joseph bar Ḥama (Rava) 280 – 352 CE The question is: Is there evidence that the attitudes of third century religious elite was so unversally accepted amongst the general populace in Jesus day, that a single man in his early thirties would have been viewed as suspect? You have offerted no evidence to support the supposition that I this was the case. You have simply produced the documentation that raises the question. The fallacy of begging the question occurs when an argument's premises assume the truth of the conclusion, instead of supporting it.

- The Talmud* sets out the penalty for failure: “He who lightly esteems hand-washing will perish from the earth.”
- a tailor may not step outside with a needle even if pinned onto his clothes on the Sabbath - you could not bite your fingernails on the sabbath. - A woman could not look into a hand mirror, as she might see a gray hair and pull it out, and that would be work. - A man with a toothache could use vinegar to season his food, but he must not suck the vinegar through his teeth. That might heal his tooth!
- A plaster might be worn on a wound if it only prevented it from getting worse; if it improved the wound, that would be unlawful work. - A fractured bone could not be treated on the sabbath, unless the person’s very life was at stake. - You could not eat the egg a hen laid on the sabbath. The exception was if the hen was not being kept as a layer, but was being fattened up to eat, then her egg could be eaten, for it was to be viewed merely as a piece of the hen that had fallen off! - Jew must not leave his cattle at a Gentile inn, for Gentiles “are suspected of bestiality.” - A Jewish woman was not allowed to aid a Gentile woman in labor because she would thereby “be assisting to bring to birth a child for idolatry.” - the rabbis ruled that a husband was not to walk behind his wife; nor should he converse with her in the marketplace. - It was forbidden to set a broken limb on the Sabbath.
* Mishnah, compiled between 200–220 CE by Rabbi Yehudah haNasi, and the Gemara, a series of running commentaries and debates concerning the Mishnah, which together are the Talmud.

The Sadducees did not accept either all the inspired Hebrew Scriptures or the traditions of the Pharisees; in fact, they believed only in the Law of Moses.
