Church History 4.3.2

Eusebius of Caesarea · Church History · ca. 300–325 · Caesarea · Read in context

Summary: Quadratus (quoted): people healed or raised by Jesus lived on, some even into his own time.

Greek text · Dindorf 4:138

δʼ αὐτὸς τὴν καθʼ ἑαυτὸν ἀρχαιότητα παραφαίνει διʼ ὧν στορεῖ ταῦτα ἰδίαις φωναῖς “ τοῦ δὲ σωτῆρος ἡμῶν τὰ ἔργα ἀεὶ παρῆν, ἀληθῆ γὰρ ἦν, οἱ θεραπευθέντες, οἱ ἀναστάντες ἐκ νεκρῶν, οἳ οὐκ ὤφθησαν μό- “νον θεραπευόμενοι καὶ ἀνιστάμενοι, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀεὶ παρόντες, οὐδὲ ἐπιδημοῦντος μόνον τοῦ σωτῆρος, ἀλλὰ καὶ ἀπαλλαγέντος ἦσαν ἐπὶ χρόνον ἱκανὸν, ὥστε καὶ εἰς τοὺς ἡμετέρους χρόνους τινὲς αὐτῶν ἀφίκοντο.’’

English · Claude translation

He himself reveals his early date by what he relates in his own words: “But the works of our Saviour were always present, for they were true: those who were healed, those who rose from the dead, who were not only seen being healed and raised, but were also always present; and not only while the Saviour was living here, but also after he had gone they remained for a considerable time, so that some of them have survived even to our own times.”
