The New Testament was written after his death too, some parts of it earlier than others. I think it's also a pretty safe bet that there was a lot of editorializing over the centuries, since AFAIK the earliest surviving copies of anything are from the 2nd or 3rd centuries CE.

There's probably less editorializing than you'd think. At least less that was successful in being hidden. There are verses that we know we're added in later that seem like they fit in perfectly. Example: "for yours is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever" at the end of the Lord's prayer. That verse feels right at home there, but based on early copies and differences between copies as Christianity spread, we know that wasn't original.

Well, the gospels themselves are an example of editorializing. None of the gospels are written by the disciples themselves, most if not all of them were written after all the apostles would have been dead, and it is widely agreed that two of them (Matthew and Luke) are basically fanfiction spin-offs of Mark and a second, long lost source.

To clarify, I think by the time the stories were canonized, the narrative was likely more or less established. But in the 2-3 centuries before that I expect it to have been quite varied. We have no real way of knowing either way because there are very few surviving scraps of manuscripts from that early on.
