2881. About Jews of very sound mind

There were also Jews with me imbued with their own opinion, saying of Christians that they speak so much of inward things, such as the heavenly Jerusalem, the heavenly David and Solomon, and the like, then laughing at Christians (not with such derision as others), thus not admitting [discussion] of what inward things are. These Jews were with me one of these days, but it was someone quite sound, for he let himself be taught, and perhaps during his life had thought something sound regarding the Messiah and had thought about the life after death. He seemed to have had a good life, or charity, in bodily life. Such in the other life can be led to heaven very easily.
