The fact they do in the bible, where as in real life nobody said shit during the real time frame, as you said, says to me some writers decided to create a new myth after the fact.
Do we have a record or evidence showing Romans were known to list the names of every criminal they had arrested and crucified? No.
Jesus, if he existed, was just one of many ...
Some one or a group of people decided to create a new hero, so yes, there was a movement, otherwise Christianity would not exist today. BUT NO, the character as depicted in the bible DID NOT exist as a magical super hero. It is a better explanation that the name was common like John is today, and the character was a result of competing with other hero myths. Jesus simply was the name they gave their mythological hero based on a real movement, not a magical movement with a real god, just a deluded person or deluded group of people. But all of the NT is written way after the fact.
