Original sentence: A number of historians have seriously questioned whether Jesus ever really lived, and while most religious and secular scholars presume his existence, many find the question of his existence undecideable by historical means alone.He is also mentioned in a number of other works, though these significantly post-date the first century, and thus are of limited historical significance.Jesus, also known as Jesus Christ, Jesus of Nazareth or Jesus the Nazarene, is the central figure in Christianity and is considered an important prophet in Islam.Some historians, citing the lack of external evidence, argue that no such person as Jesus ever existed.This episode is found in Josephus, who does not say who the leader of this resistance was, but shortly afterwards, in a passage whose authenticity is heavily disputed, states that Pontius Pilate had Jesus crucified
