AHC: Kickass Jesus

Didn't a king of Armenia (or Cilicia or somewhere) offer him asylum before the Crucifixion OTL. Jesus refused and well...we know how that went

IIRC there is a very early Christian story that a Roman client king had heard about Jesus and asked to see Him, but was informed He had been crucified. He was instead sent Jesus’ robe and promptly converted.

Abgar V of Edessa. The earliest written record of the story is from IV Century, but it is presented as common knowledge at that point.
