Sure, I think you meant the New Testament though right?
The name you are referring to first appears in a manuscript written by to refute Celsius, an eclectic Platonist and polemical anti-Christian writer, who criticized Christianity as a threat to the stable communities and worldview that the "pagan" religious and social system sought to uphold.
He wrote:
"Jesus had come from a village in Judea, and was the son of a poor Jewess who gained her living by working with her hands [spinning]. His mother had been turned out of doors by her husband, who was a carpenter by trade, on being convicted of adultery [with a soldier named Panthera (i. 32)]. Being thus driven away by her husband, and wandering about in disgrace, she gave birth to Jesus, a bastard. Jesus, on account of his poverty, was hired out to go to Egypt. While there he acquired certain (magical) powers which Egyptians pride themselves on possessing. He returned home highly elated at possessing these powers, and on the strength of them gave himself out to be a god."
So to state that Panthera was erased from the New Testament is not exactly a true statement, Panthera was not mentioned until 250+ years after Jesus died, by a playwrite who thought that the Christian faith was Dangerous.
That would be like saying that Atheism cannot be true because Pat Robertson wrote a book that said it isn't.

Why yes I can. A Greek philosopher named Celsu, writing a treatise against the early Christians called "Alethès Lógos", claimed that the father of Jesus of Nazaraeth was in fact a Roman soldier named Pantera. Celsus, who was an eclectic Platonist and polemical anti-Christian writer, criticized Christianity as a threat to the stable communities and worldview that the "pagan" religious and social system sought to uphold. Think of the upheaval if it was proven that Mary had cheated on Joseph!!

He was a Roman legionary stationed in the province of Judea around the time Jesus of Nazareth would have been conceived. However, there is very little evidence to support he was the father of Jesus. Celsus was a fine philosopher and made many great challenges to Christian doctrine. This idea was not among them.
