Just curious to know the answer.I think there probably was such a person (though not literally named Jesus), but I estimate the odds on the low end, like 55% yes, 45% no. I think he probably said some portion of the quotes attributed to him, was a former follower of John the Baptist who split off and got his own following, and did wind up executed by the Romans for his seditious teachings. I don't think there's much more you can say about him that reaches 55% likely.
This is almost exactly how I view the odds.
