You seem confused about what is meant by the word 'evidence'. Even if all of these sources were contemporary with Jesus (they aren't) and verifiable as first hand accounts (ditto) and backed up by other independent sources (double ditto), they wouldn't move the least bit to prove Jesus as a divine being, merely as an historic figure (and they don't even do that).
