I agree. In the first century though, there were varieties of Judaism which, some of them, were very different from modern/traditional Judaism.I mean, Jesus taught ideas that doesn't sync with traditional Judaism, that do sync with Zoroastrianism. For example, Jews believe Satan is an angel who obeys God, Jesus taught that Satan was a devil who fell from heaven like Ahriman in the Zoroastrian scriptures. He also put a heavy emphasis on light/darkness duality, something else Zoroastrianism does, and Judaism not so much. He also taught that God was entirely good and there was no evil in him, something that Zoroaster taught about Ahura Mazda, but Judaism does teach that God is both good and evil.
Some of these ancient forms of Judaism, or sect of Judaism, had been influenced by teachings of Zoroastrianism. There were still other forms that ignored those teachings, but not all of them.
