One can read Josephus and Jewish literature that says he wasn't the Messiah. The historical record is there.

Was he the Messiah? That's where the evidence is lacking.

I'll take another moment to again promote, The Passover Plot. It's a remarkably good scholarly historical look at the life of the man as best we can understand it. I came away respecting Jesus as a very clever religious guy who deftly engineered himself to be on that cross because he was fucking brilliant and he believed he was the one. Great read!
