The gospels are different accounts of the same thing. If four people were asked to write down what happened and each had different perspectives, would the story they write look exactly the same?

Many people would still not believe even if the deity did those things you mention. The Jewish nation in the old testament is a perfect example. God provided them food, water, escape from bondage etc and they still disbelieved and disobeyed.

Not a single verse therein refers to or connects with the Gospels - a cursory reading of other verses in the same reference will prove that. Sai Baba can be proven as a historical figure, but I was unable to find a single proof of Jesus, even after going dizzy keeping up with the qualifications and manouvers embellished in such searches. I found no evidence of a Roman trial, while a host of minutae topical details of mundane items are seen in Roman archives of the same period.
I never gave up and kept searching. Then I assumed the best proof of Jesus is with the Jews and the Hebrew writings, because these are very reliable. But here too I found nothing, this writing in relation to Jesus also being non-contemporary by 200 years. My conclusion is that unless some hard proof turns up, which I grant is almost not possible considering the time factor already lapsed and the vast number of archeological relics found for periods much older, the entire Gospels story is a fiction. Only the belief is sincere. The most disturbing factor about the Gospels is how it fails to mention the war between Rome and the Jews, whereby over a million sacrificed themselves to uphold their belief: this is akin to the NYTimes not mentioning 9/11 on 9/12.
Jesus fullfilled many prophecies including being crucified and rejected by the Jews, which is the case today. The Gentiles believe in Jesus but Jews dont, this was prophesied. There are more historical documents that verify the New Testament than any other historical document, over 24,000. More evidence than for Caesar crossing the Rubicon. So if the skeptic wants to be skeptical and dismiss the New Testament, he has to wipe out historical documents which have less evidence.
