LOL, prior he says. It remains heavily hellenized....que the chorus "holy shit jesus, that was a miracle, how can this be?" Fellas, it's been less than 24 hours since you saw me perform a miracle....give it a rest.
Also, Socrates...very likely a narrative device, if there was some man he was based upon..we have no knowledge of that man. If I were going to compare the historicity of Jesus to anyone (particularly if I were angling for some flesh and blood person)....probably wouldn't have picked Socrates....
