I found this interesting. The Synagogue of the Nazarenes still stands today.
73 C.E. The Nazarenes Build a Synagogue on Mount Zion
In 73 C.E. , after the destruction of Jerusalem in 70 C.E. the Nazarenes returned to
Jerusalem. Unlike Gentile Christians who belonged to an outlaw religion, the Nazarenes
were simply Jews who believed Yeshua had been the Messiah of Judaism. Since they
were simply a sect of Judaism and Judaism was a recognized and protected religion under
Roman Law, they were permitted to take stones from the Temple to Mt. Zion and build a
Nazarene Synagogue there. It is especially significant that certain Greek manuscripts of
Matthew contain marginal notes from an alternate Jewish version. This alternate Jewish
version is called the “Judaikon” (Jewish) and is described as being a standard copy on
Zion the Holy Mount5. This ancient Nazarene Synagogue still stands and was
incorporated into the structure now wrongly called “King David’s Tomb.”6
