I need help. I'll write the riddle exactly as it was written

A tenner to the first person to solve this riddle.

If Jesus died on a Tuesday and has 10 disciples. What was his favourite kind of fish?

Hi I'm not going to try for the tenner A literal-minded UK atheist might say that the best evidence lies in the fact that Jesus chose to persuade his disciples that he was once again alive (and not just a ghost) by eating broiled fish glazed with honey (Luke, XXIV, 42-43). In the King James Synoptic Gospels, that's all we have to go on Some have suggested that the timing of this meal and a headcount of the disciples available to witness it suggest that these verses were inserted at a later date, unreliably. In that case, it's anyone's guess!

Hi

If you really are looking for a word or phrase to unlock that conundrum ...

If we started seriously to wonder if we'd been mislead over the day of the crucifixion, the number of disciples (and the provenance of Luke XXIV, 42-43), some might say that the good Lord's favourite fish was RED HERRING
