One of the most interesting things that is not addressed is that Judaism places a high regard on marriage especially for rabbis and holy men. It is unheard of that a leading holy man should be 33 years old and unmarried, and revered by Jews. the Roman authors of the NT texts apparently did not know this. In Yiddish he would be referred to as an "alter bokher" (and old bachelor, the opposite of an old maid). Add to it that all his followers were apparently also unmarried. Including the character called Paul. That a religious leader as rabbi should be unmarried and revered is ridiculous in Judaism.
This is also why the stories of celibate Essenes and another alter bokher, John the Baptist, has no basis whatsoever in Judaism and are also myths.
Ironically, this would be a reason why Yeshu Pandera himself was ignored and fell into oblivion when he lived about 75 BCE.
