Suetonius's report of Claudius expelling Jews from Rome matches Acts 18 — illustrating how omissions in one source don't prove falsehood; Josephus doesn't mention this expulsion

Suetonius's reference to Claudius expelling Jews from Rome (Life of Claudius 25) is confirmed by Acts 18. Josephus, writing a history of the Jews, does not mention this expulsion at all — which means if Suetonius hadn't written those two sentences, critics would say Acts made it up. This illustrates the danger of argument from silence: significant events can be absent from sources we'd expect to record them.
