Jesus in the Talmud

Notes to Appendix 187114. John 10:30: “the Father and I are one.” This, no doubt, was the bone ofcontention for the Jews. Only John mentions the attempt of the Jews to stoneJesus (8:59).115. It goes without saying that the Diatessaron, as far as it can be reconstructedfrom the quotations and translations, contains all the major elements socharacteristic for John. On a possible affinity of the Toledot Yeshu to the Gospelof John see Bammel, The Trial of Jesus, pp. 36f. (with relevant literature).AppendixBavli Manuscripts and Censorship1.
