Jesus Christ

Jesus Christ, also known as Jesus of Nazareth (c. 6–4 BC – c. AD 30), was a Jewish teacher from Galilee and the central figure of Christianity. According to the Gospels, he began his public ministry at about thirty, after his baptism by John the Baptist. He traveled through Galilee and Judea with his disciples, healing the sick and teaching through parables such as the Good Samaritan and the Prodigal Son, and through the Sermon on the Mount, with its call to love God, one's neighbor and even one's enemies. He was crucified in Jerusalem under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. Christians believe that he is the Son of God and that he rose from the dead on the third day. Followed today by more than two billion Christians, his teachings have shaped art, law, ethics and charitable work across the world.
