Corroboration from
Jewish Sources

About this time therelived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him aman.  For he was one who wrought surprising featsand was a teacher of such people as accept the truthgladly.  He won over many Jews and many of theGreeks.  He was the Messiah.  When Pilate, on hearinghim accused by men of highest standing among us, hadcondemned him to be crucified, those who had in the firstplace come to love him did not give up their affectionfor him.  On the third day he appeared to them restoredto life, for the prophets had prophesied these andcountless other marvelous things about him.Josephus, Antiquities18.63-64
