Ode 27
Do you know other evidence like this of the crucifixion as ritual?I extended my hands and hallowed my Lord,
For the expansion of my hands is His sign.
And my extension is the upright cross.

Dujardin thought the same thing. And he adds that the phrase of 2 cor :Joseph D. L. wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2018 2:21 am "O foolish Galatians! Who has bewitched you? It was before your eyes that Jesus Christ was publicly portrayed as crucified."
Tim Claason has proposed that Paul was speaking of a ritual, or performance scene.
...was another evidence of the same 'performance scene', where the ''Christ according to the flesh'' was the same human actor (playing the role of 'Christ' crucified) known really by the Corinthians and by Paul during the sacred drama done in Corinth.Therefore from now on we know no one according to the flesh: and even if we have known Christ according to the flesh, yet now we know him no longer
I'm not sure you need Jewish (and/or Christian) evidence of any non-Jewish ritual for that ritual to have influenced or have been modified for use by early Christians (whether for a short period or for longer).
