Babylonian Talmud

The Babylonian Talmud is a compilation of rabbinic Jewish legal and theological tradition (compiled c. 200–500 CE, preserving earlier oral traditions) containing hostile references to Jesus (Yeshu) in passages like Sanhedrin 43a describing his execution and accusations of sorcery. These represent hostile attestation from a tradition with no stake in supporting Christian claims, though dating of specific passages is debated and references are embedded in legal discussions rather than historical narratives.
