Jesus in the Talmud

Okay kiddo, so the Talmud is a book that talks about Jewish traditions and laws. There are some parts of the Talmud that mention a person named Jesus, who some people believe is the son of God.

In the Talmud, Jesus is often referred to as "Yeshu" and he is talked about in a few different stories. Some of these stories say that Yeshu was a troublemaker who broke Jewish laws and encouraged other people to do the same.

There are also some stories about Yeshu doing miracles and claiming to be a prophet. Some Jewish leaders didn't believe him and thought he was trying to lead people astray.

So, while the Talmud does mention Jesus, it doesn't talk about him in the same way that the Christian Bible does. The Talmud is mostly concerned with Jewish laws and traditions, and Yeshu is just a small part of that.
