If I lived in Jesus's "day", and I had seen some of the world, and wasn't a mere provincial impressionable yokel even by the stardards of that largely illiterate and impressionable age, I would have thought I'd seen all that before with other tricksters, and had heard it all before from other impressionable yokels.
People hopefully became less yokelish as the world and humanity progress. It is telling how Christians would justify themselves by trying to make moderns who had benefitted from the slow, but accumulating, deyokelization of the world sympathize instead with the antics of, and therefore hopefully regress back to the level of, the more yokelish of yokels from a more yokelish corner of an earlier, more yokelish age.
