Hillel the Elder vs. Jesus

Hillel. Born in 110 BCE. Notable sayings include:

"What is hateful to you, do not do to your fellow: this is the whole Torah; the rest is the explanation; go and learn" - Hillel

Jesus: “So whatever you wish that others would do to you, do also to them, for this is the Law and the Prophets." Mathew 7:12

Is this evidence that the Jesus figure was a compilation of other figures with more historical reliability?
