He was stoned to death at Lud
[Al-Lud or Lydda] , and his body was "hanged on a tree" on the eve of
Passover. The Toldoth
Yeshua
begins with, John of the house of David, getting engaged to
Miriam, originally from Bethlehem, the daughter of a
neighboring widow. A certain Pandera also had desires for
Miriam. On a Sabbath night he came to Miriam during her
period ,raped her, and Yeshu was conceived. Miriam thought Pandera was her husband-to-be and
yielded to him after a struggle, greatly astonished at the behavior of
her fiancé'. When the real fiancé, John, came she made her anger clear
to him. He immediately suspected Pandera and told Rabbi Shimon Ben
Shetah of the incident. Miriam became pregnant, and since John knew that
the child was not his, but was unable to prove who was guilty he fled to
Babylon.
Judas
of Kerioth [8] informed the leaders of
Jerusalem of this and said that he would kneel down before this Yeshu so
that they could distinguish him from his disciples, who were dressed in
the same colors of clothing. Yeshu was taken captive and sentenced to be
hanged on the Friday before Passover.
After being buried, a gardener took his body and
hid it in a ditch in his Cabbage patch
[12]. His disciples failed to find the body
in the tomb they told Queen Helen that he
had risen from the dead, and so she wished to put to death all the Sages
of Israel.
Rabbi Tanhuma Bar Abba
[5] - [possibly simile to
Barabbas], however, found the body, which was then tied to a horse's
tail and dragged to where the Queen was. Nevertheless, Yeshu's disciples
spread the story of Jesus amongst the Gentiles. These disciples included
12 apostles who were said to be arduous persecutors of the Jews.
Toledoth Yeshu
Version of the Toldoth Yeshu dated to the sixth
century |

It is apparent that certain Allegorical elements of this story are literary devices which draw almost as much upon the Christian version of Jesus/Yeshu as they do upon Hebrew lore. One entry in particular , "The 12 apostles" is more than likely a later addition to the tale as Yeshu was initially said to have had only 5 disciples. Stealing the "Shem ha-Mephorash", or the name of God is an allusion to the Christian deification of Jesus/Yeshu. The Characters mentioned in the Talmud were not all contemporaries of one another. This naturally creates problems reconciling the dates that Yeshu lived with the timeframe that the Gospels claim that Jesus lived. Some claim that the Christian Jesus, and Yeshu the disciple of Rabbi Joshua Ben-Perachia are too distinct persons.
Rabbi Joshua Ben-Perachia Rabbi Joshua Ben-Perachia lived several generations, a Century earlier, than the Gospel Jesus. He was dead and buried long before Jesus was even conceived, whether it be immaculately or otherwise. The Sanhedrin was lead by two Rabbis, One held the title of Nasi [Prince or President] and the other basically served as Vice President, but more in a Parliamentary form wherein the Vice president was head of the Opposition or served as a sort of Devils advocate.
That the Toldoth Yeshu lists Ben-Perachia as the teacher/guardian of Yeshu, I believe is either an error echoed and parroted version after version, or a deliberate obfuscation in an attempt to disguise the identity of the principle character -Yeshu. The original version of the story probably states that Yeshu became a student of the leader of the Sanhedrin [Nasi] , he was a Nasarene. At the time of Jesus the leader of the Sanhedrin was Hillel. The Mehgheehlla Scroll Discovered near Lake Tiberius in 1882 supports this theory . Yeshai and Judas ben Halachmee were the illegitimate twins of a young girl called Stadea. They were taken in, raised and educated by the religious order of Essenes . One of the boys became a student of a Rabbi Hillel , and the other became the leader of the Essenes. The Scroll also states that an elder Essene named Joseph became Yeshai's 'religious father' and guardian. Further research on Hillel reveals that he was a carpenter. [See Jesus Twins] The Mehgheehlla Scroll bears little trace of the later myth transference and religious / political agendas which obscure most texts dealing with Yeshua and is probably the most accurate narrative of Jesus that we have..
Talmud and Rabbinical entries referring to Jesus Besides the Tol'doth Yeshu, there are several other passages in various sections of the Talmud and other ancient writings that may contain portions of the Historical Jesus proto-type to whom the God-man legend has attached itself to in the current age.
Corroborating Non Jewish References
In addition to the Jewish References to Yeshu/Jesus there are many non Jewish sources which draw a portrait of Jesus quite different from the Gospel narratives which can only be traced as far back as the second and third Centuries AD.
Pre Gospel Christian writers , having access to the Talmudic and other Hebrew sources which we lack today apparently seized upon this reference to Pandera/Pandaros and having adopted and Westernized it they viewed it as a surname. Pandera [Panthera] appears in several deviant pre-Gospel genealogies of Jesus and Mary , as the Grandfather of Jesus. The fact that early Christian Genealogies, outside the later Gospel Genealogies, attempt to link the personages of Jesus and Pandera as Grandfather and Grandson placing them 2 generations apart , or approximately One Century could very well tie in with the theories placing " Jesus: One Hundred Years Before Christ "
There are many other references which draw from, mirror or corroborate elements of the Toldoth Yeshu and other rabbinical writings these are only a small sampling.

Mandaean and Johanite References to Jesus
Jesus was the disciple of the Devil, who fooled John the Baptist. The “liar” Jesus tricked John into baptizing him by use of a satanic ruse that seemed to come from heaven. “Yahya (John) baptized the liar in the Jordan”, he baptized “the false prophet Yishu Meshiha (Jesus the Messiah), son of the devil Ruha Kadishta.”
Mar Yesu and the Book of Elxai [Elchasai]
Mar Yesu is believed to have been a simile of the Tol'doth Yeshu
No editions of these writings are known to presently exist, but Church archives recorded that they were once in popular circulation . Knowledge of these writings survived from quotations made by Bishop Hippolytus of Rome (176-236) and St Epiphanius of Salamis (315-403), along with references in some early editions of the Talmud of Palestine and of Babylonia. The Rabbinic fraternity once held the destroyed manuscripts in high esteem, for they were comprehensive original records of the Historical Jesus.

Censored and Disguised Talmud entries
Morris Goldstein, former Professor of Old and New Testament Literature at the Pacific School of Religion, relates:
At first, deleted portions of words in printed Talmud's were indicated by small circles or blank spaces but, in time, these too were forbidden by the censors. He was at many instances referred to as "Such-an-one"
** See Also Balaam as Jesus
Balaam as Jesus
Balaam held a highly exalted position among the Gentiles, as much as that of Moses among the Jews. The Talmud states that when the Law was given to Israel, a mighty
voice shook the foundations of the earth, so much so that all the World
trembled. In their fear and confusion the Kings of the World turned to
Balaam, inquiring whether this portended a second deluge, the
prophet assured them that what they heard was Gods voice giving the
sacred law to the Israelites (Talmud, Zeb. 116a). The pseudonym Balaam is believed by some to denote Jesus
The Talmud Ben Stada Jesus Stories
Shabbath 104b it is stated that in the "uncensored" text of the Talmud it is written that Jesus mother, "Miriam the hairdresser," had sex with many men. "the hairdresser" translates to Megaddela which some have compared to Magdalene . [Also In the Talmud, Magdala is a town called by its Aramaic name, Migdal Nunaiya (Pes. 46a). meaning "Tower of Fish." which reflected the basic commerce of the town, not necessarily a ref. to "fishers of men" etc.. ]
So here we have two possible Talmudic simile's to Mary Magdalene as the mother of Jesus, whom Christian tradition does not teach was the Mother of Jesus. Although Christian tradition does not teach that Mary Magdalene was the mother of Jesus, many devout Christian scholars have speculated on the topic . Once again from the Catholic Encyclopedia - New Advent:
Despite the irreconcilable conflict of dates there are undeniable parallels in the Talmudic Jesus and the Christian Jesus. His mother is Mary [Miriam] , he had a stay in Egypt to avoid persecution,, he was of Davidic descent, he performed miracles [Magic], he was excommunicated by the Sanhedrin, he was executed on the eve of Passover.
The accepted timeframe given by Rome for the existence of Jesus Christ was parallel with the Birth of Apollonius of Tyanna, it was also parallel with the Birth and presumed Death of a certain member of Hebrew Royalty, a claimant to the Title "king of the Jews" .
During the timeframe Jesus is said to have lived, there was a family of Noble descent, both Davidic and otherwise who are actually represented within the Christian Gospels, generally under varying similes and pseudonyms. They were a branch of the Herod family that bore a Davidic bloodline as well, the desposyni . The Matriarch of said family was Miriam [Mary] who was later exiled to the south of France..... .

Pandera [As in Yeshu Ben Pandera], The prefix "Ben" denotes "The son of ". Son of could denote
There are several variant interpretations as to the meaning of the word Pandera . Given the context in which it is utilized, it is my opinion that Pandera is used as a descriptive accolade denoting Yeshu as a traitor to the Hebrew people.
Robert Eisler has suggested that Pandera is a generic name for a betrayer. He argues that in the Iliad, Pandaros betrays the Greeks by breaking an armistice confirmed by sacred oath. His name was used as a generic term for a betrayer similar to the use of the names Judas, Brutus and Benedict Arnold .

13 In Greek, "Jesus" was "Ioesus"
there was no "J" in Greek or Latin languages. The "J" was
introduced in the 2nd millennium when Germanic and Anglo
cultures influenced the translations. "Jesus" [Yeshu] is derived from the Greek Ιησους [Iēsoûs] found in the
Greek text of the Gospels, and is assumed to be translated from Aramaic
or Hebrew (Yeshu, Yehoshua ,Yeshua other Alternative spellings/translations
include Jehoshua, Jeshu). The Greek to English equivalent would be
Joshua. The Greek is a Hellenized form of the Aramaic name Yeshua (ישוע),
a short form of Hebrew Yehoshua (יהושע). Christian Arabs to this day
refer to Jesus as "Yasu' al-Masih" [Yeshu - Interpretations of the name] "Christ" is a theological title, from the Greek Χριστός [Christos],
in the Hebrew Mashiach (משיח), meaning "the anointed one", referring to
the belief that Jesus was the Messiah.
