"On the eve of the Passover Yeshu/Jesus the Nazarene was hanged [crucified]. Forty days before the execution, a herald went forth and cried, 'He is going forth to be stoned because he has practiced sorcery and enticed Israel to apostasy. Any one who can say anything in his favor, let him come forward and plead on his behalf.' But since nothing was brought forward in his favor he was hanged on the eve of the Passover."
Quote from: the Babylonian Talmud which consists of documents compiled over the period of Late Antiquity (3rd to 5th centuries).
