It is NOT true that #ThomasJefferson excised ALL of Jesus’ miracles from his so-called “bibles” (abridgements of the Gospels). Even if it was true, it is not entirely clear to me what it says about Jefferson or his goals in abridging the Gospels. #JeffersonBible “Life and Morals of Jesus,” e.g., one of Jefferson’s “bibles,” includes Luke 14:4 (in French), reporting that Jesus healed a man with dropsy. (NB: the precise contents of "Philosophy of Jesus,” another Jefferson “bible,” is unknown, but its table of texts includes Luke 14:1-6.)
