96. The story has been told, many, many, times
Paul told the story according to his "agenda".
Peter told it according to his.
John told it according to his.
Luke told it to his.

And even they often disagreed among themselves as to what actually happened.

The "New Testament" as a whole puts a certain spin on it.

The Catholic Church has it's own agenda.

The Protestants theirs.

Thousands of books have been written about it, usually with their own agenda. Same for films and documentaries.

What's interesting is to realize that the Roman's who actually crucified Jesus didn't think the story interesting enough to put down.
But, they littered the countryside of most nations with the crosses of rebels and saw Jesus as just another malcontent.

"Man is the only animal to have discovered the One True God...several of them." Mark Twain
