The New Encyclopædia Britannica thus concludes: “These independent accounts prove that in ancient times even the opponents of Christianity never doubted the historicity of Jesus, which was disputed for the first time and on inadequate grounds at the end of the 18th, during the 19th, and at the beginning of the 20th centuries. ”
Entsüklopeedia The New Encyclopædia Britannica teeb niisuguse järelduse: „Need sõltumatud jutustused tõestavad, et vanadel aegadel ei kahelnud isegi kristluse vastased Jeesuse ajaloolisuses, mille üle hakati puudulikul alusel esmakordselt vaidlema 18. sajandi lõpul, 19. sajandi kestel ja 20. sajandi algul. ”
