Sanhedrin 43a also describes how five disciples of Jesus were judged and sentenced to death, again showing that the Jews traditionally have believed in the existence of the historical Jesus. Sanhedrin 106b even says that Jesus was 33 years old when he died; exactly as required by the New Testament. Maier ("First Easter", pp.117,118) quotes from the fifth century Jewish document "Toledoth Jesu", which claims that the disciples tried to steal the body of Jesus after his death, but a gardener named Juda heard of their plans and removed the body of Jesus elsewhere, handing it over later to the Jews. Justin Martyr writing in 150AD records that the Jews sent out special messengers to claim that the body of Jesus had been stolen ("Dialogue with Trypho", 108), and Tertullian ("On Spectacles",30) has a similar account when he wrote in 200AD.
Maier ("Siku kuu ya kwanza ya kufufuka", uk. 117, 118) ananukuu toka hati ya Wayahudi karne ya kwanza"Toledoth Jesu", yenye kadhia ya kwamba wanafunzi walijaribu kuuiba mwili wa Yesu baada ya kufa, lakini mtunza bustani aliyeitwa Yuda aliposikia mipango yao aliuhamisha mwili wa Yesu na kuupeleka mahala pengine, akaukabidhi baadae kwa Wayahudi. Justin Martyr akiandika mnamo mwaka 150 B.K ameandika kwamba Wayahudi walituma wajumbe maalumu ili waseme ya kuwa mwili wa Yesu uliibiwa ("Dialogue with Trypho", 108), na Tertullian ("On Spectacles", 30) ana maelezo mamoja wakati alipoandika katika mwaka 200 B.
