We don't have any contemporary accounts of Alexander the Great either - the earliest account comes 400 years later. While the earliest account of Jesus is from (less than) 20 years after he ascended. That's just history for that time. You'd be hard pressed to have accounts of anybody written in their time. Even Pompeii - which was likely witnessed by 250,000 people, and killed many Roman elite- the earliest account of that is 30 years after the fact.
