Search result for "Jesus Christ" in the Works Of Josephus


If you were to open this pdf file in Word you would have 836844 words, 1699 pages and run a search on it for "Lord Jesus Christ" it will come back with the number 80 times that "Jesus" is found,  113 times that Christ is found, and 130 times that Lord is found,  6 times that Jesus Christ is found.

the following block is found on page 588:

[1] Of this most remarkable passage in Josephus concerning the "stone cut out of the mountain, and destroying the image," which he would not explain, but intimated to be a prophecy of futurity, and probably not safe for him to explain, as belonging to the destruction of the Roman empire by Jesus Christ, the true Messiah of the Jews, take the words of Hayercamp, ch. 10. sect. 4: "Nor is this to be wondered at, that he would not now meddle with things future, for he had no mind to provoke the Romans, by speaking of the destruction of that city which they called the Eternal City."


the following block is found on page 772:

[1] Reland takes notice here, very justly, how Josephus's declaration, that it was his great concern not only to write "an agreeable, an accurate," and "a true" history, but also distinctly not to omit any thing [of consequence], either through "ignorance or laziness," implies that he could not, consistently with that resolution, omit the mention of [so famous a person as] "Jesus Christ."

The above are just 2 examples of how the Navigation feature in Word correctly explains the context that there is around the large number of times the above forms of the name of the Lord Jesus Christ are written in the book.
