Propaganda written for Romans, not Jews. Same with the gospels, Paul, etc.
Also, messiahs were ubiquitous. Think Life of Brian.
Apparently James, brother of Jesus and Simon Peter were competitors, but were not literate, at least in Greek, which was the lengua franca of the period. James would have limited Christianity as a sect of Judaism.

There were sects, like Chosen Jews of India or China or Iraq or Ethiopia that had not been in Israel for in some cases, hundreds of years.
None of the three "brothers" ever existed. It is all myth. The so called gospels weren't written down until after Nicea.
I totally agree propaganda for the Romans. Jews couldn't beat them on the battle field, or with an insurgency, so best way to beat the enemy if from within. Romans were militaristic, so turn them into pacifists.

IMHO the Codex Sinaiticus, which included the Synoptic gospels. A/K/A Sinai Bible. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Gospels
Lots of apocrypha. The Gnostic Gospels.
