根据犹太拉比所編纂的文獻─《塔木德經》中較晚期作品《耶稣一生》的记载:耶稣又名耶稣·本·潘得拉(Yeshu Ben Pandera),他的母亲是馬利亚,他的父亲是约瑟·本·潘得拉。在《塔木德經》中的耶穌是一位巫師,他在埃及學到黑魔法並有五個門徒。最後他以使用巫術的罪名被起訴,在逾越節後四十天被絞死。有學者認為Ben Pandera是扭轉Ben Parthenos(童貞女子之子)而成的。然而《死海古卷》與基督教緣起的專家詹姆斯.泰伯則認為「潘得拉」是當時確實存在且常在使用的名字。在他的著作《耶穌的真實王朝》有提到相關的論述和墓碑考古資料。在此書中詹姆斯·泰伯推測耶穌的生父很可能就是一名叫做约瑟·本·潘得拉的羅馬帝國士兵。[163]

Gone is the extreme skepticism that for so many years dominated gospel research. Representative of many is the position of E. P. Sanders and Marcus Borg, who have concluded that it is possible to recover a fairly reliable picture of the historical Jesus."

The fact that Jesus existed, that he was crucified under Pontius Pilate (for whatever reason) and that he had a band of followers who continued to support his cause, seems to be part of the bedrock of historical tradition. If nothing else, the non-Christian evidence can provide us with certainty on that score.

(原始内容存档于2021-10-13).While not accepting the full, radical approach of Maier, I think we can agree with him on one basic point: in the earliest rabbinic sources, there is no clear or even probable reference to Jesus of Nazareth. Furthermore, I favor the view that, when we do finally find such references in later rabbinic literature, they are most probably reactions to Christian claims, oral or written.
