"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. And
when Pilate, at the suggestion of the principal 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 ten thousand other wonderful things concerning him. And
the tribe of
Christians, so named from him, are not extinct at this day." Josephus.
Naturally,
the comment about Him being The Christ has been constantly attacked by
atheists. It must be 'a later addition', of course.
