No. it isn't absolutely clear. Only the gospels, written decades later, speak about it...
100% this.
I think people have had the claim that the bible should be taken as a factual given hammered into them so much that they forget to actually pause and take stock of the fact that actually, the bible is simply a list of claims.
There are no contemporary accounts of Jesus ever having existed or doing anything remotely like the things claimed in the bible. Not one.
