Quotation from Jewish Antiquities by Flavius Josephus

“the brother of Jesus, who was called Christ, whose name was James”

Flavius Josephus (spoken by Josephus)

Jewish Antiquities, Book 20, Ch. 9.1, trans. William Whiston (1737)

Portrait of Flavius Josephus

Josephus identifies James during an account of the high priest Ananus; this notice is generally treated as less textually suspect than the Testimonium.
