What is your verdict on the claims of Jesus? He claimed to be the Son of God but who do you say that He is? Have you carefully examined the evidence and made an informed decision? How many witnesses would you say are required to prove a case? The legal answer is that there is no set number of witnesses required for a conviction. Instead, the focus is on the sufficiency and strength of the evidence as a whole. This means that only a small number of credible witnesses may be enough. One would likely be inadequate, as a case must be proven beyond all reasonable doubt. It was a first century Jewish legal principle that at least two or three credible witnesses were required to establish a fact. This principle that "by the mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established" appears in the New Testament in two main places: Matthew 18:16 and 2 Corinthians 13:1 and derives from Deuteronomy 19:15. Where are we going with this? The only reasonable conclusion is that where there are four credible witnesses, the case is much more likely to be proven beyond reasonable doubt. And in the case of Jesus’ identity, we have those four witnesses. Over the next few days, we will examine these witnesses together.
