At the time there appeared Jesus a wise man [a] For he was a doer of startling deeds, a teacher of people who receive the truth with pleasure. And he gained a following both among Jews and among many of Greek origin.[b] And when Pilate, because of an accusation made by the leading men among us, condemned him to the cross, those who had loved him previously did not cease to do so.[c] And up until this day the very tribe of Christians (named after him) has not died out. (Antiquities 18.3.3) [5]
