What if the Romans hadn't killed Jesus?

RE: What if the Romans hadn't killed Jesus?
Jesus wasn't unique in that time period as far as miracle stories go.

Hanina ben Dosa

Quote:Hanina ben Dosa (1st century, CE) (Hebrew: חנינא בן דוסא‎) was a scholar and miracle-worker, and the pupil of Johanan ben Zakkai (Berakhot, 34b). He is buried in the City of Arraba.

Arraba is in Galilee

Honi ha-M'agel

Quote:Honi Ha-Ma'agel (חוני המעגל Khoni, Choni, or Ḥoni, HaMa'agel), (lit. Honi the Circle-Drawer) (1st century BC) was a Jewish scholar prior to the age of the tannaim, the scholars from whose teachings the Mishnah was derived.

During the 1st century BC, a variety of religious movements and splinter groups developed amongst the Jews in Judea. A number of individuals claimed to be miracle workers in the tradition of Elijah and Elisha, the ancient Jewish prophets. The Talmud provides some examples of such Jewish miracle workers, one of whom is Honi ha-Ma'agel, who was famous for his ability to successfully pray for rain.

Jewish Encyclopedia - Exorcism

Quote:Josephus ("Ant." viii. 2, § 5) relates:

"I have seen a certain man of my own country, whose name was Eleazar, releasing people that were demoniacal, in the presence of Vespasian and his sons and his captains and the whole multitude of his soldiers.

Ancient Miracle Stories

Apollonius of Tyana is supposed to performed an exorcism and brought a girl back from the dead.

Jesus would have been just one of many if he hadn't been crucified and his followers claimed he'd been resurrected.
