Hello researchers, I was requested to provide some bibliography on Jesus' life as it appears in the Gospels. The point is that the emphasis must be on the story side of His life rather than on a theological approach of It. I would appreciate very much if you could direct me towards some works with online text available or even towards some patristic comments regarding this issue. Thank you!

Use the book of Luke in the bible. It is Jesus story telling at its best. All the writings you will find will quote the book of Luke. Then add in the first 2 chapters of Matthew for reference and additional material.
I suggest you start with the wheel before finding other writings reinventing the wheel.
You may find a good sinthesis of non biblical testimonies about Jesus in this link.

If you prefer an historical explanation of the Gospel, you may find useful Brand Pitre's book:

There is more specialized bibliography on this issue, of course.
Start with the 4 Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke & John and the Acts of the Apostles. You can read it as a historical books (as much as it is theological in nature). Also keep in mind that the first disciples of Jesus preached the Gospel of Christ as an oral Tradition and then they wrote it after.
A very good treatment of the subject under the title "The Historical Jesus" by John P. Meier in "The Jerome Biblical Commentary for the Twenty-First Century", edited by John Collins and others, 3rd fully revised edition, T&TClark, 2022, pages 145-163, with excellent bibliography on the subject.e.g. Dale C.Alison, "Constructing Jesus. Memory; Imagination and History", Baker, Grand Rapids, 2010; N.T Wright, "Jesus and the Mystery of God", Minneapolis, Fortress, 1996; E.P. Sanders, "The Historical Figure of Jesus", London, Penguin, 1993.
