But the point about these linkages is not some autobiography, even if Jesus did act in the fashion of the scriptures he knew. It is that afterwards, to the Christian community, the writing was done to legitimise him as Messiah, by making these connections backwards. There is no available memoir, and there is no record comparable with say Muhammad (and certainly with Gandhi, whom we know in recorded detail). The gospels are faith documents that have an appearance of biography in order to make a point. You see this particularly in the details, and in the shift of perspectives that happen in the texts regarding each community being served by these texts.
