@still thinking '''''''''''' Unless of course, you had some direct line back to the apostles or the other 'witnessess' and these stories were handed down to you....or whoever told them to you.
Anyone want the Roman side of the story. The Romans were big on history. Tacitus is an historian. Not sure but think he was probably the "GAIUS" referred to by Paul...........at the end of Romans ch16 v21-24. I think the timeline fits
