"He hung around prostitutes and other sinners. He also broke the Sabbath day which is the Law of Moses."

It is still baffling that Flavius Josephus only recorded a sentence or two about "the Nazarene" for prosperity.

He may have felt the topic was sufficiently covered elsewhere. It is notable that he differentiates Jesus from other so-called prophets of the time in that he unequivocally calls him "the Christ." All the others were reported with obvious tones of skepticism.
