I remember reading through the first couple books of the New Testament in the KJV. I do not recall the details, but Jesus was performing a "miracle" of some kind and his audience sent him running as they threw stuff at him, calling him a something similar to a phony. At that point, I started to think Jesus was probably a magician who got chased away by a skeptical crowd. I am sure the Bible ripped off of other myths and added them into the mix, but I think that accounts for part of the story.
