Jesus has a friend named Tim. As a friend of Jesus, tim has a lot of respect for him, and tells his other friend Joe how great Jesus is. The exaggeration from Tim makes Joe think Jesus is way more awsome than he really is. It can be modeled as f(x)=x^2 So if the original Jesus is 1, x is the number of people who added to the chain of exaggeration, and f(x) would be how awsome the next person who heard the story thought Jesus was. Do keep in mind that the story would have been passed on verbally and not been written down for quite some time, and therefore much more prone to this process.
Edit: There, happy now?
