Lol. Must not be very familiar with textual criticism. Holy Writ has been verified with all the variations. To suggest it is myth is staggeringly ignorant.

Slight differences is what one would expect without a printing press. This variance sounds pretty authentic as it appears to be what an eyewitness saw.

Not at all. The Ignorance is what we don’t know about everything in his time. Over time, certainly 2000 years, Myth overtakes reality along with embellishment. I am only asking what was the reality of Jesus life in the era he lived in, what exactly happened. There is a staggering amount of information that is unknown about Jesus life before he became a prophet and founded Christianity.

The scribes in the ancient world were very careful about the accuracy of the scriptures. For example, before the Dead Sea Scrolls were found in Qumran, the oldest source for the book of Isaiah came from the Masoretic Text, circa 1000 AD. When the Dead Sea Scrolls were discovered in 1947 in the caves of Qumran, the scroll in the best condition was an almost complete copy of Isaiah (c. 200 BC).

The discovery of the Dead Sea Scrolls pushed back the oldest known text of Isaiah by 1,200 years. Compared to the Masoretic Texts, the accuracy was astonishing: Except for a few minor variations in vowel diacritical marks, the meaning of the Isaiah did not change in any significant way.
