Adversaries themselves confess Moses' and Christ's miracles; Jews invent magic or the Name

But besides, that the miracles reported as done by Moses are true, and likewise those attributed to Christ and his Apostles, is clear from the adversaries' own confession. For as to Christ, the Jews who are most hostile enemies of the Christian name neither formerly dared, nor even now dare, to deny that Christ performed miracles: but they have invented I know not what to elude the force of the argument we draw therefrom — namely either that Christ did those things by magic art which he had learned in Egypt, or by virtue of that tetragrammaton Name whose right pronunciation and exposition he held. For they fable that whoever knows how to pronounce that name rightly can by its force do any wonderful works. The vanity of that invention is clear of itself, and there is no need to refute it. Here we only note that the truth of Christ's miracles is not a little confirmed thereby: since the Jews who most envy his glory neither dare nor are able openly to deny that those things were done. And likewise very many of the Gentiles bore testimony to Moses and acknowledged the truth of the Mosaic history, as is to be seen in the books of Josephus against Apion, and of Eusebius on the Preparation of the Gospel.
