In this case, it's incredibly far fetched. The character of jesus (and that of his disciples) is a vehicle for theology. Nothing more or less. Tortuous explanations that purport to show some "truth of the man" are irrelevant, even to the theology.
It is not jesus the man around which these faiths have cloistered. It's the "life" of jesus -as an expression or model of divine order, ability, and intent - which is of primary importance. The narrators offer a string of manufactured scenarios which provide an opportunity to comment upon the theology they wish to advance. This is why jesus is seen hopping from town to town to town performing theologically meaningful miracles.....
We never hear of the parable of "Jesus and Judas discuss how delicious last nights flatbread was while taking a shit in a hole behind their hovel". Which you might expect...from a biography, however flawed or inaccurate.
