"Now there was about this time, Yeshua (Eaysoos in Greek), 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 Mashiach (Christos in Greek); and when Pilate, at the suggestion of the
principal men among 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" (followers of Messiah), so named from him, are not extinct at this
day."
