First, In the Talmud its self they have traditional stories of miracles wrought by the § 71 Disciples of Jesus, and by others in his name; which although they are like the rest of their Narrations, foolish and insipid, yet they evidence the Tradition that was amongst them from the forementioned conviction. Thus in Aboda Zara they have a story concerning James (who lived longest amongst them) It happened they say, that Eleazar the Son of Dama was bitten by a Serpent; and James of the Village of Sechaniah (that is Bethany) came to cure him in the name of Jesus (the son of Pandira) but R. Ishmael opposed him, and said, it is not lawful for thee thou Son of Dama: So owning that Miracles and Cures were wrought by James in the name of Jesus. And in Sabbath. Hierusal. Distinct. Schemona Scheraticin: they tell us that the Son of Rab. Jose the Son of Levi had swallowed poison; a certain man came and communed with him in the name of Jesus the Son of Pandira; and he was healed; but when he was gone out, one said unto him, how didst thou advice him, he said by such a word; the other replied, tha• it had been better for him to have dyed, then to have heard that word. I mention these things, only to show that they were never able to stifle the Tradition that passed among themselves, concerning the Miracles wrought by Jesus and his Disciples.
