There was no Jesus as defined in the bible.
Yeshua, Joshua or similarly named people probably did exist during that time period, but there is almost no historical records that can identify one of them as the messiah as mentioned in the bible. There are some anecdotes and hearsay that do mention the biblical person, however those records are from unverified sources, after the lifetime of said person, and the people spreading the rumors were *not* unbiased sources.
