Abraham Abulafia, the Jewish Messiah and Jesus
From a footnote in Moshe Idel's Ecstatic Kabbalah:

It is also possible, of course, to connect the Name, yud-heh, to the sixth day of the crucifixion. According to most sources, this occurred on "Passover eve." In B.T. Sanhedrin, fol. 43a (cf. with Dikdukei Sofrim , IX, p. 126).There we read that Jesus of Nazareth was a familiar of the king, and they hung him on Passover eve. If the word "eve" is understood literally, this means on the fifteenth of Nissan, which is equivalent to the letters yud-heh. This analogy isalso worthy of mention. The sixth day, the day of the crucifixion, is called "the accursed one" Christians. In Hebrew, the words Yeshu Hanozri (Jesus of Naza-reth) have the numerical value of 671, the same as the value of the words, yom hashishi (the sixth day). See N. T. Luke, XXIII: 54 and N. T. Mark, XV:42.

In Sefer Sitrei Torah, he writes about Jesus, "That manfounded a new religion, as evidenced by the remainder of the nation whichis called until this very day by the name attributed to him by his and theirconsent. They are called Christians, annointed ones, because he namedhimself the annointed one, the Messiah. The Torah, however, called him'an alien god.' Understand this well, for it is a great secret." The intentionhere is that the numerical value of the word Yeshu (Jesus) has the same numerical value of 316 as the Hebrew words for an "alien god" (elohei nekhar).
