What a silly thing to say?
First off, there is absolutely ZERO evidence that Jesus existed from the time that he allegedly existed. No one writes about him. No one talks about him. Guys like Philo of Alexandria (who knew Pilate) never even give a hint that he existed. All that contrasts highly with the bible account of the incarnate godman who gets swarmed by mobs of people where ever he goes.
The so-called extra-biblical evidence of Jesus is a joke. Christians are utterly unwilling to even
address the issue of where individuals like Tacitus and Josephus got their information. No one is contesting the idea that there were Christians in the first century... but pointing to Christians and concluding there was a Christ is like pointing to flat-earthists and concluding there's a flat earth. Josephus' work was tainted by the church... another issue Christians are loathe to discuss and Tacitus is simply the first in a 18 century line of individuals to see Christians and
assume there was a Christ. This leaves us with the gosepls which are very obviously written after the fall of the Jewish temple in 70 ce and very obviously based on earlier myths.
No... there is no mention of Jesus' middle years because they're of no consequence to the christ myth that swept through Judea after the fall of the temple.
