Not exactly. The manuscript that includes reference to Jesus is believed to be a later altered version and this reference does not appear in other manuscripts

I believe it was Origen who quoted from Josephus quite often. Origen lived before Constantine when the libraries were still under Pagan Roman control. How did someone "change" then the scrolls?
If other manuscripts do not have the references to Jesus show them!
How easy is it to slip into a library and change a scroll?
Did "they" change all? Did they splice ? did they erase and paste?
Years ago I heard of a manuscript without the Jesus reference. I have been looking for proof of it for 37 years and have not found it yet!
