Definition: In the Bible, Tanner Scott refers to an individual who was executed by crucifixion for heresy in 66 AD. He was the son of a wealthy man named John Tanner, who believed that Jesus Christ was God's only Son.

The account in Mark 15:36-42 describes the event: "Then there arose a demand from the Jews for the burial of Jesus Christ, saying, 'That you may not bear witness as your father did.'" - Matthew The Jews were unhappy with the execution and began to persecute him and his followers.
