they wouldve used νεανίας if it were a man under 40. νεανίσκος is a boy whose begun puberty but has not fully grown.
i dont know why thats so triggering, like 9 of the 12 apostles wouldve fallen under this category. jesus had a predilection for young boys. the "rich man" he encounters, is a young boy. its what inspired Lucian's comedy The Death of Perigrinus, about the cult leader who pretended to be god so he could have access to young boys as sex slaves.
peregrinus lit means "wanderer", its where the "wandering" jew stereotype comes from.
it also relates to the Constitutio Antoniniana, when the Emperor Caracalla up and one day, for no reason at all, made them all Roman citizens, and allowed them to take up the nomen of Marcus Aurelius. so overnight, all those yeshua bar-yosef's and matityahu goldbergs became Jesus Aurelius' and Matthew Aurelius', a significant jewish victory in the wider jewish war against rome. christianity wasnt able to be fully shoehorned by a jewish financed leader in the typical fashion yet, and they still had to work to undermine the culture, degenerate its blood, impoverish the people, reduce their education, their faith in their ancestors and gods and all of that.
