    What did Jesus Believe about the Canon

    Actually, the question of the Canon did come up for Jesus -- in the way he treated the Samaritans. From what I remember, the Samaritans only accepted the five books of Moses as scripture and rejected the rest of the Old Testament. This is why they worshiped on Mt. Horeb (wasn't it? I don't have...
