434 wouldst have found there a chosen prophet whose name was Emmanuel: for he shall save his people from their sins. He made wine of water in Cana of Galilee as his first sign, and cleansed the lepers by his word, enlightened the eyes of one born blind, healed the paralytic, put demons to flight, and raised three who were dead; he delivered a woman taken in adultery and condemned by the Jews to be stoned; another woman named Veronica who had an issue of blood twelve years and came behind him and touched the hem of his garment, even her he healed; and with five loaves and two fishes he fed five thousand men, leaving out children and women, and there remained of the fragments twelve baskets; all these things and many more were done before he suffered. We saw him after his resurrection, in the flesh as he was before.

Titus said to him, How did he rise from the dead, when he was dead? And Nathan answered and said, He was manifestly dead, and hung upon the cross, and taken down again from the cross, and for three days lay in a sepulchre: then he arose from the dead and descended into Hades, and delivered the patriarchs and prophets and all the human race: then he appeared unto his disciples and ate with them: then they saw him ascending into heaven. And so all that I tell thee is the truth. I saw it with my own eyes and also all the house of Israel.
