Said Rabbi Yose, son of Abin: “All these years that Rabbi Judah the Prince suffered from toothaches, there was not one miscarriage in the land of Israel and no woman suffered the agonies of childbirth.” ⁴⁸

Many legends circulated about the friendly relations between Rabbi Judah the Prince and a Roman Emperor. In one of them, the Emperor exclaims: “I know that even the least one of your disciples is capable of reviving the dead.”⁴⁹

On the day when Rabbi Judah the Prince died, a Divine Echo (bath-kol) came out from heaven and announced: “Whoever was present at the time when he died is invited to the life of the world to come.”

“Ever since he died, there was no longer humility and the fear of sin.”⁵⁰
