Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his [Jesus] own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?

What It Means

This is a placeholder explanation generated by the low-overhead model. It interprets "Perhaps these were the errors of others rather than his [Jesus] own; and if it be true that he himself shared the general illusion, what matters it, since his dream rendered him strong against death, and sustained him in a struggle to which he might otherwise have been unequal?" in the context of "Ernest Renan in: The Life of Jesus, Ernest Renan Trübner, 1864, p. 205." to mean that wisdom is timeless.
