A hostile tradition
The Babylonian Talmud preserves an early rabbinic tradition that “Yeshu” was hanged on the eve of Passover for sorcery and for leading Israel astray. Scholars debate how much it reflects first-century memory, but it never questions that he lived. Instead it disputes the meaning of his works.
But isn’t it taught in a baraita: On Passover Eve they hung the corpse of Jesus the Nazarene after they killed him by way of stoning. And a crier went out before him for forty days, publicly proclaiming: Jesus the Nazarene is going out to be stoned because he practiced sorcery, incited people to idol worship, and led the Jewish people astray. Anyone who knows of a reason to acquit him should come forward and teach it on his behalf. And the court did not find a reason to acquit him, and so they stoned him and hung his corpse on Passover eve.
