The question is not whether there were any other people with the name Jesus.

well yes it plainly very much is part of the question greg , as my post to you here on "one Jesus or many" did plainly picture for you of many "strange coinicidence" , you very well know how histories get made over centuries in superstitious times of war and unheaval? And every tribe and city all over the region hoping for the arrival of a universal Savior , Jeshua? And each city or tribe had already had just so many of these Jeshuas in the past .

<<<<Jesus ben Saphat. In the insurrection of 68AD that wrought havoc in Galilee, this Jesus had led the rebels in Tiberias. When the city was about to fall to Vespasian’s legionaries he fled north to Tarichea on the Sea of Galilee. Too strange to be a coincidence!

<<<Jesus ben Gamala. During 68/69 AD this Jesus was a leader of the ‘peace party’ in the civil war wrecking Judaea. From the walls of Jerusalem he had remonstrated with the besieging Idumeans (led by ‘James and John, sons of Susa’). It did him no good. When the Idumeans breached the walls he was put to death and his body thrown to the dogs and carrion birds.>>>>

& there WAS actually a Crucified Jesus Here

<<<<Jesus ben Stada was a Judean agitator who gave the Romans a headache in the early years of the second century. He met his end in the town of Lydda (twenty five miles from Jerusalem) at the hands of a Roman crucifixion crew. And given the scale that Roman retribution could reach – at the height of the siege of Jerusalem the Romans were crucifying upwards of five hundred captives a day before the city walls – dead heroes called Jesus would (quite literally) have been thick on the ground. Not one merits a full-stop in the great universal history.
