Other than his followers, he wasn't important, he was either unknown or a fraud to the rest of the world. If I knew that I was following the Messiah, I doubt I'd take the time to write about it or draw a picture of him, after all, I was in the presence of the Son of God, I would just absorb as much as he would allow. Maybe I'm wrong. Even if you did take "notes" (What sort of medium did they use as a writing utencil? I am not sure.) What are the odds of them being found? As often as Christ traveled? Just isn't logical to be following him, writing down everything he does as he does it. It just doesn't happen.
