Certain of the early Gnostic Christians did not believe that Jesus was truly human. Other Gnostics believed that, while Jesus did have a human body, he did not suffer at the crucifixion - a theme that comes through a little in John's Gospel, which originally belonged in a mildly gnostic community. Docetists saw the crucifixion as an illusion rather than a reality, a belief that would later be adopted in the Quran (04:157): "They did not kill him and they did not crucify him, but it was made to seem so to them."
Marcion, although probably not really a Gnostic, believed that Jesus' body was a mere phantasm, a physical illusion or an ephemeral appearance.
