PS: The "Yeshu Hanotzri" of the Talmud lived about 100 years too early (he was a student of Yehuoshua ben Prachia, and thus a colleague of Shimon ben Shetach, who was Shlomit Alexandra's brother; Judaea didn't fall under Roman influence until the civil war between Shlomit's sons), was executed by the Sanhedrin over the vigorous protest of the civil government, had the wrong number of disciples, was accused of sorcery, was stoned to death and then his corpse hanged, was executed on Erev Pesach rather than on Pesach itself (and thus his last meal couldn't have been a Seder); basically he shared nothing with the Jesus of the New Testament except a name, which may have become attached to the story at any time.
