I found it! It was a mystery as to what Jewish book Luther and Porchetus were referring to in
Vom Schem Hamphoras. Gerhard Falk, the translator/editor/judge of Luther in his book
The Jew in Christian Theology, has many explanatory footnotes of Luther's writing but NO explanation (on page 168) of what Jewish book contained the outrageous claims of the Jews about Jesus as published by Porchetus. Even the Wikipedia article on
Vom Schem Hamphoras says nothing about this. I only stumbled across this information in the writing of Peter von der Osten-Sacken in his book
Martin Luther und die Juden written in German on page 162. That put me on to a great wealth of information regarding Jewish hatred of Christianity!
Look up these articles in Wikipedia for yourself:
•
Toledot Yeshu (see also the actual book
here,
Wayback)
•
Johann Christoph Wagenseil
The Jews will deny and explain away their hatred of Christianity all they want. "Scholars" will research and publish their findings belittling true Christian warnings against this Jewish hatred. But it won't work. Jesus said (John 15:18):
If the world hate you, ye know that it hated me before it hated you.
