There's your answer.not really, because I understand there must be some verisimilitude for historical Jesus when you say something like what you just did
what is the source of the historical Jesus ? the narrative
The source? Well I think there is no such person. However the traditional source of the "historical" Jesus is the mythicized Jesus exists (in texts aka the bible), and the default position from a historian position (or so I'm told since I'm not a historian) is that if someone is claimed to exist accept the claim unless it's obviously false, or demonstrably false. Which to me seems backwards but again I'm not a historian.
Aside from the bible myths there's no evidence a person existed, but it wouldn't be hard for a person with that name to have existed, and then got the paul bunion/ Hercules treatment. It's kinda a big unknown really.
