I just wish we could know what Josephus really said about him. The copies of it in Christian hands all have him saying what Christians want and the Muslim copies of it have him saying exactly what they want. My guess is it was neither.

We technically already know, the passage was indeed written by Josephus (he also mentions John the Baptist), but has been modified by the Christians and Muslims respectively to prove what they believed in, however, in 1971 a Syriac copy of it was found without these interpolations.

Nice. :marseythumbsup: I must have read this a long time ago, forgotten about it, and then thought it was an idea I came up with. Happens all the time.
