Where is the majority of references to Jesus found outside of the Gospels?

In spite of incredible efforts to prove otherwise, Jesus was never mentioned in the Old Testament, either by name or in any way that would truly identify him. And the only extra-biblical mention of Jesus in the entire first century is in Antiquities of the Jews, published by Flavius Josephus at the end of the century. In this, he mentioned the Christians who worshipped a Jesus who seems to have been crucified, but this is based on knowledge of believers in his own day, not on even second-hand information about past events.

Are the four gospels about gods people before Jesus time on earth?
No. The four Gospels ('Gospel' means good news) are accounts by four of Jesus' contemporaries (and maybe one near-contemporary) about what Jesus said, what He did, where He went, to whom He spoke, etc. The Gospels contain references to God's people before Jesus' time (mostly made by Jesus Himself), but they are included only incidentally to the main thrust of the Scripture. The Gospels' principal focus is on Jesus.
