The Talmud is not something that you or even I can read and understand completely or from a plain reading, and I say that for a reason.
It was written a very long time ago and sometimes has what might be known as "hidden" meanings. Some things might stand out as, wow, where did they get that from? But those who do study and have a better understanding of why certain things were said, can explain where they may have got their thoughts from. Usually from other parts of the bible.
I know it sounds confusing, but some of Rabbi Fohrman's video's and books explain it better.
A good example might be what is referred to as Pharaoh's daughters arm being extended to reach out and grab Moses from the water.
As for Jesus in the Talmud, from what I understand, most say he is not as the time frame of those mentioned are far off from when Jesus was said to have lived.
Then there are others who say they may have been referring to him.
So I'm not sure what the answer is either!
But just don't take an outsiders explanation as truth without knowing what the truth really is.
