And seeing it is a Jew who makes these\r\nstatements in the work of Celsus, it will not be out of place to\r\nquote the declaration, “He sent His word, and healed them, and\r\ndelivered them from their destruction,”<a id=\"r108\"></a><a class=\"c008 pginternal\" href=\"#f108\"><sup>[108]</sup></a>—a passage of which\r\nwe spoke a little ago.
