Rome| An Italian\u00a0expert studying\u00a0a\u00a0first century document written by the Roman historian\u00a0Marcus Velleius Paterculus<\/span>\u00a0that was recently discovered in the archives of the Vatican,\u00a0found what is presumed to be the first eyewitness account ever recorded of a miracle of Jesus Christ. The author describes a scene that he allegedly witnessed, in which\u00a0a prophet and teacher that he names\u00a0I\u0113sous de Nazarenus<\/em>, resuscitated a stillborn boy and handed him back to his mother.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Historian and archivist Ignazio Perrucci, was hired by the Vatican authorities\u00a0in 2012,\u00a0to sort, analyze\u00a0and<\/span>\u00a0classify some 6,000 ancient documents that had been uncovered in the gigantic archive vaults. He was already very excited when he noticed that the author of the text was the famous\u00a0Roman historian Velleius, but he was\u00a0completely stunned when he realized the nature of the content.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Professor<\/a><\/p>\n

Professor Perrucci found the text in the archives of the Vatican, while searching amongst a bundle of personal letters and other trivial documents dating from the Roman era.
\nThe text as a whole is a narrative of the author\u2019s\u00a0return\u00a0journey from Parthia\u00a0to Rome that occurred in\u00a031 AD,\u00a0recorded in a\u00a0highly rhetorical style of four sheets of parchment.\u00a0He describes many different episodes taking place during his trip, like a a violent sandstorm in Mesopotamia and\u00a0visit to a temple in Melitta (modern day Mdina, in Malta).
\nThe part of the text that really caught M. Perrucci\u2019s attention is an episode taking place in the city of Sebaste (near modern day Nablus, in the West Bank). The author first describes the arrival of a great leader \u00a0in the town with a group of disciples and followers, causing many of the lower class\u00a0people from neighbouring villages to gather around them. According to Velleius, that great\u00a0man\u2019s name was\u00a0I\u0113sous de Nazarenus,<\/em>\u00a0a<\/span>\u00a0Greco-Latin<\/span>\u00a0translation<\/span>\u00a0of Jesus\u2019 Hebrew name, Yeshua haNotzri.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Upon entering town, Jesus would have visited the house of a woman named Elisheba, who had just given birth to a stillborn child.\u00a0Jesus\u00a0picked up the dead child and uttered a prayer in Aramaic\u00a0to the heavens, which unfortunately the author describes as \u201cimmensus\u201d, meaning incomprehensible.\u00a0 To the crowd\u2019s\u00a0surprise and amazement, \u00a0the baby came back to life almost immediately, crying and squirming like a healthy newborn.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Marcus<\/a><\/p>\n

Marcus Velleius Paterculus, being a Roman officer of Campanian origins, seems to perceive Jesus Christ as a great doctor and miracle man, without associating him in any way to the Jewish concept of Messiah.
\nMany tests and analysis have\u00a0been realized over the last weeks to determine the authenticity of the manuscript. The composition of the parchment and\u00a0ink, the literary style and handwriting have all been carefully scrutinized and\u00a0were considered\u00a0to be entirely legitimate. The dating analysis also revealed that the sheepskin parchment on which the text is written, does indeed date from the 1st century of this era, more precisely from between 20-45 AD.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

This new text from an author known for his reliability, brings a brand new perspective on the life of the historical character that is Jesus of Nazareth. It comes to confirm the Gospels on the facts that he was known for accomplishing miracles\u00a0and that his sheer presence in a town\u00a0was enough to attract crowds of people.
\nA complete and official translation of the document should be made available online in many different languages over the next few weeks, but the impact of the discovery is already felt in the scientific community. Many scholars have already saluted the finding as one of the greatest breakthrough ever realized in the study of the historical life of Jesus, while others have expressed doubts about the conclusions of Professor Perrucci and demand\u00a0for more tests to be performed by other scientific institutions before drawing any conclusions.<\/p>\n
