ok, too much fun im not going to get carried away.
And if it wasnt for Jesus I'd be Jewish instead of English?!?!??!?!
I'd say he was an Israeli (doesnt the Bible say of the House of David?)with aspirations of becoming a Roman citizen. 😉
Jesus never actually existed.
The name came around as a result of one of the earliest legal actions when a carpenter tried to sue several clients for non payment. Being more than a little drunk the clients chanted "hey sue us". As the chant sped up and the words mingled into one it soon started to sound like "Jesus" and the name was born.
The capenter to get his own back wrote a best selling novel called "The Bible" based around a central character called Jesus knowing he would screw mankind from then on.
Even today, this novel sells millions and screws people up.

I am wondering just what the point of the question might be. How much can it matter what nationality was involved?
I am an avid atheist, but I once heard a believer state his position quite succinctly by saying, "God said it, Christ did it, I believe it, That settles it!"
I doubt that he would have been interested in the nationality of his Saviour.
