I heard, you know, so, so they give credibility. So there's this like direct chain of succession in line of custody to the apostolic community.

So yes and no. So this goes to your question in terms of the differentiation in detail. So the fact is we have four biographies, and sometimes they tell the same stories, but they give different angles on the stories. So we have a similar thing with the emperor at the time, Tiberius. So the only other person who's sort of comparative to Jesus in terms of source information is the emperor.

So you have Jesus, and then you have the most powerful, the most well-known, the richest person at the time. And he also has four biographies of himself, or at least four. Don't kick that, please. Thank you. Sorry. Not while I'm talking. Andrew. So, Tiberius has Vilius, Proterculus, Suetonius, Cassius Dio, and Tacitus, who are all writing source information for him.

So, if we can do like a comparative analysis for someone with Jesus, the emperor is a good guy to do it because he likewise has four individuals who are writing about his life. You're saying as an example of their importance and impact? Or like, how can we look at source information? Now, the Gospels are a little bit different because they're pretty comprehensive and they're only about Jesus.

Whereas these other guys are writing, say, about emperors more broadly. And so it's like snippets here and there. But what I was getting at is we have differences in those stories too. Or like Socrates... I get what you're saying. Socrates has three biographers.

Yeah. So I would say a differentiation in detail doesn't necessarily amount to a contradiction. So I haven't found something that I think is an outright contradiction. That's not to say there aren't hard ones. So the death of Judas is a hard one. Because one gospel says that he went and hung himself in the potter's field. The other says that he falls headlong and his entrails fall out.

He falls headlong and his insides fall out. What does that mean, falls headlong? Like it falls on his head. And his insides fall out. Yeah. What? So that's what it says happens. So there are a few things going on here.
