Uhm we have a first hand account of someone who met him, we also have Josephus writing of his death, so why should we assumed he’s not a historical person, other than it’s inconvenient for the narrative you want to sell?
Is that the expectation here, if someone isn’t a historical person, we should expect to find first accounts of someone meeting him, and an entry in the historical record of the time, detailing his death?
We do not have a first hand account, lol. Josephus writes about the beliefs of others.
The expectation..here, is that you will eventually provide something more than "magic book says..."
