The thesis highlights the complex role of the masses in the New Testament. The synoptic tradition, namely Matthew, Mark, and Luke, depict the masses differently. Matthew is more sympathetic, while Luke maintains distance, portraying Jesus as a friend to the poor and oppressed. The analysis of three Greek words, all translated as 'masses' in English: 'πολλοί', 'λαός', and 'ὄχλος', is particularly important. 'πολλοί' is a general term for any large group, not just people. Luke uses it most frequently, while Matthew does not use it at all, indicating that for Matthew, people mean more than just numbers. 'λαός' in the Septuagint usually refers to the nation of Israel. Matthew, with a Hebrew mindset, uses 'λαός' in this sense, and does not equate it with 'ὄχλος', which means an anonymous crowd. The author points out that Matthew carefully chose his words, and this difference is especially important in Matthew 27,25, where the people take responsibility for Jesus' blood.

A Chagiga (Ünnepi áldozat) traktátus a Moéd (Kijelölt idő, „ünnep”) rend utolsó, 12. traktátusa. A traktátus a Misnában és a Toszeftában is három fejezetből áll, a Babilóniai Talmudban 27 oldal, a Jeruzsálemi Talmudban pedig 22. Gemara is tartozik hozzá. A traktátus első részének az fő kérdése, hogy a három zarándokünnepen miként és kinek kell kötelező módon megje-lennie Isten előtt, illetve kik azok, akik felmentést kapnak a kötelezettség alól, és miért?
