I don't think there is a consensus on what or who Jesus was. For example, ancient historian, Morton Smith, is known for his book "Jesus the Magician", in which he claims that Jesus was a magician. Which is a charlatan who cast spells, curses, "heals" people - thus comparing his miracles to those that the magicians had performed.
