“(Speaking of Jesus) His manner of teaching though, was nothing like that of a philosopher. Those who paraded their virtue and condemned the faults of others, he dismissed as painted tombs heaving with maggots and corruption.

He dined with Jews who violated the law and talked beside wells with adulterers.”
