There is one contemporary mentioning of Jesus and it is that of Flavius Josephus, but there is only one sentence where he mentions him as far as I know.

There is no physical evidence for Jesus as historical person. All evidence about Jesus are writings of other people. The earliest Gospel, that of Mark, was written 40 years after the death of Jesus.
I don't understand the source in Gospels for last supper. Writers were not there, but they elaborated every sentence said there 40 before writing.

I asked God for a bike, but I know God doesn't work that way. So I stole a bike and asked for forgiveness.

Why do you say "evidence other than Bible"? Bible is also evidence. For someone who doesn't want to believe, no evidence is enough.

How can the Abrahamic Bible be evidence?

To prove that someone probably existed it usually takes one reference or written record. That is why most scientists do not question existence of Jesus. You would have to question many other historical persons if you would say that the written evidence is not enough.

I'm sorry, for myself, one book written about someone doesn't work.
The Romans kept excellent records and there is not one mention of this person being alive, prosecuted and executed.

For some people who want to believe, no evidence is necessary. For me, evidence is necessary to believe something.

Evidence for Jesus existence is not the same as evidence for Jesus's miracles.
