Writings during the lifetime of Jesus?

RE: Writings during the lifetime of Jesus?
"...Nero fastened guilt and inflicted the most exquisite tortures on a class hated for their abominations, called Christians by the populace. Christus [or Christ], from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty [or crucifixion] during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus... ."

(Tacitus, Annals 15.44)

Tacitus, of course was a pagan and no friend of Christianity.

"As the Jews were making constant disturbances at the instigation of Chrestus [or Christ], he expelled them from Rome."

(Suetoius, Life of Claudius 25.4)

Suetonius was another ancient pagan Roman historian who was anti- Christian.

"On the eve of Passover, Yeshu [or Jesus] was hanged. For forty days before the execution took place, a herald and cried, 'He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Anyone who can say anything in his favor, let him come forward and plead on his behalf.' But since nothing was brought forward in his favor, he was hanged on the eve of Passover.

(Babylonian Talmud)

Notice that the ancient Jewish book does not deny that Jesus did miraculous things, but instead claims they were evil sorcery meant to dupe the people.

I will post more, if you are interested.
