"The Gospels tell how Jesus performed miracles; the author of the Tol'doth Yeshu also tells us so, but while the former say that he performed them by the help of the Holy Spirit, the latter says that he performed them through the "Ineffable Name," which he had learnt for an evil purpose, and through the magic spells which he had brought from Egypt."
