Critics may also have alleged that Jesus' birth early in Mary's marriage to Joseph was the result of her committing adultery; much later Jewish sources named a Roman soldier called Panthera.

Related notions of Jesus' illegitimacy have never totally disappeared. Jane Schaberg, an iconoclastic feminist critic at the University of Detroit Mercy, has long maintained that parts of Luke's introduction to the topic echo...
...Matthew's account, Joseph and Mary are Bethlehem residents and Jesus is born at home. But his very birth necessitates their flight to Egypt (and eventually Nazareth) because Jerusalem's vicious regent, Herod, is determined to murder the Bethlehem child he has learned will one day be King of the Jews.

A seizure is depicted as his brother twisting in the coils of a giant snake. David B. says...
...aggrandizing simulacra of Ignacio’s identity. After we are shown that Ignacio’s flashbacks are no more than an imaginary cinematic representation, Almodovar is able to effectively coincide his look at Ignacio’s childhood into an “accurate” narrative account of the effects of his titular education...
