Chapter
LXVIII.—The Rule of Faith.
“These sayings of Gamaliel did not much
please Caiaphas; and holding him in suspicion, as it seemed, he began
to insinuate himself cunningly into the discussions: for, smiling
at what Gamaliel had said, the chief of the priests asked of James, the
chief of the bishops,594

consistent with the position accorded to James the Lord’s brother
in the entire pseudo-Clementine literature.—R.] | that the discourse
concerning Christ should not be drawn but from the Scriptures;
‘that we may know,’ said he, ‘whether Jesus be the
very Christ or no.’ Then said James, ‘We must first
inquire from what Scriptures we are especially to derive our
discussion.’ Then he, with difficulty, at length overcome
by reason, answered, that it must be derived from the law; and
afterwards he made mention also of the
prophets.”
