What did the Jewish historian Josephus think of Jesus?
The Jewish historian Josephus wrote a history called Antiquities of the Jews, which includes a passage called the Testamonium Flavianum, which is believed to be authentic, although probably altered in the following centuries by pious Christians. One of the surviving versions of the Testamonium Flavianum says:About this time there lived Jesus, a wise man, if indeed one ought to call him a man. For he was one who performed surprising deeds and was a teacher of such people as accept the truth gladly. He won over many Jews and many of the Greeks. He was the Messiah. And when, upon the accusation of the principal men among us, Pilate had condemned him to a cross, those who had first come to love him did not cease. He appeared to them spending a third day restored to life, for the prophets of God had foretold these things and a thousand other marvels about him. And the tribe of the Christians, so called after him, has still to this day not disappeared.To what extent this reflects Josephus' original writing, it should be remembered that Josephus remained a pious Jew, who could scarcely have written this version of the Testamonium Flavianum as it now stands. The most we can probably say is that he was not antagonistic to the Christians and that he probably viewed Jesus to have been a man worthy of respect.
Did Josephus really write about Jesus in his book called Antiquities of the Jews?
Answer 1There is a reference to someone named 'christos' or 'chrestus' but this just means 'anointed', so it could have applied to anyone.Most theologians say that the reference to 'christos' is a forgery, added later. And besides this, Josephus was hardly a reliable source. He turned on his fellow Jews and defected to the Romans.Answer 2Apparently he did but it is clear that some of his statements do not seem to be in keeping with what we know of what Josephus believed, and presumably have been added or modified by scribes in transmission. Thus the statement in what is called 'the testimonium' that "He was the Christ" may be an addition; or possibly originally read "He was believed to be the Christ", as the Latin and Syriac versions still read.This has been sorted out over time by textual and literary-critical methods. Originally it was all believed to be genuine, then in going to the other extreme some rejected it entirely. However the scholarly view, as is often the case in some areas has settled down to a relative consensus that some of it was genuine - the parts that acknowledge Jesus' existence, but not the parts which express personal faith in Him.There are two passages in question. The longer, in Antiquities book 18 is also known as the Testimonium Flavianum. The shorter is in Antiquities 20.From the 17th-19th century, the long passage was generally considered an interpolation (accidental or otherwise) by some later copyist. Discoveries of further versions of the text in other ancient and medieval languages, together with a reaction against the hyper-scepticism of the 19th century, have caused a movement where many scholars now think at least part of the text is genuine. It remains controversial, however.The short passage has always been considered genuine by almost all scholars. Ca. 1900 Emil Scherer questioned it, but his views were not accepted.There is a scholarly study of the history of the scholarship on these passages: Alice Whealey, "Josephus on Jesus: The Testimonium Flavianum Controversy from Late Antiquity to Modern Times", Peter Lang Publishing (2003).Answer 3You need to be very aware that the Roman Church had custody of these ancient documents for centuries. It wouldn't have been hard for them to "correct" the writings of Josephus.Many ancient writings were changed or destroyed by the Roman Church.

What did Josephus write in relation to Jesus?
AnswerAlthough the text has been altered over the centuries, it is clear that Josephus, in a famous passage now known as the Testamonium Flavinium, mentioned the Christian religion, saying that the members of that religion worshipped Jesus. In a less well-known passage, Josephus also mentioned James, the brother of Jesus. However, as with Paul's epistle, it is not clear whether 'brother' was an honorary title because of James' role as leader of the Jerusalem Church, or whether James really was the biological brother of a historical Jesus. So, Josephus did mention Jesus indirectly in his 'Antiquities of the Jews' which was published in 93 CE, but he relied on secondary sources, probably the Christians themselves.Many scholars now believe that later scribes interpolated passages into the writings of Josephus to give validity to the idea that Jesus not only existed but was also referred to as the Christ.

Which non-Christian writers give us some information about the life of Jesus?
Another answer from our community: An ancient Jewish historian, Josephus ben Matthias commonly called Josephus, born about 37 A.D., does write about Jesus, but not as a believer. Josephus was well educated in biblical law and history coming from a line of Kings and priests. He eventually was taken to Rome by Titus the son of the Emperor who destroyed Jerusalem. There Josephus wrote histories.Josephus' writings cover a number of Christian people and situations found in the Bible including John the Baptist, James the brother of Jesus, Pontius Pilate, the Sadducees, the Sanhedrin, the High Priests, and the Pharisees.There are two specific references to Jesus in his work: Antiquities.In Book 18 the passage is called the Testimonium Flavianum :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 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 so named from him are not extinct at this day.In Book 20 a passing reference to Jesus:But the younger Ananus who, as we said, received the high priesthood, was of a bold disposition and exceptionally daring; he followed the party of the Sadducees, who are severe in judgment above all the Jews, as we have already shown. As therefore Ananus was of such a disposition, he thought he had now a good opportunity, as Festus was now dead, and Albinus was still on the road; so he assembled a council of judges, and brought before it the brother of Jesus the so-called Christ, whose name was James, together with some others, and having accused them as lawbreakers, he delivered them over to be stoned.
