3. (63) Now, there
was about this time Jesus, a wise man, if it be lawful to call him a man, for
he was a doer of wonderful works - a teacher of such men as receive the truth
with pleasure. He drew over to him both many of the Jews, and many of the
Gentiles. He was {the} Christ; (64) and when Pilate, at the suggestion of
the principle men amongst us, had condemned him to the cross, those that loved
him at the first did not forsake him, for he appeared to them alive again the
third day, as the divine prophets had foretold these and then thousand other
wonderful things concerning him; and the tribe of Christians, so named from
him, are not extinct to this day.
Flavius Josephus, "The Antiquities of the Jews" 3.(63) (64)
