Baby Jesus Pictures Biography
"Jesus Christ" is Jesus of Nazareth, a rabbi and preacher whom is the central figure of Christianity.
What we know of him comes from the four Gospels of The New Testament: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Biblical scholars agree that the earliest of the Gospels, Mark, was begun after 70 A.D., about 40 years after Jesus's death. Despite the tremendous fame The Gospels tell us that he earned, no contemporary accounts of Jesus exist. Philo (c25 B.C- 47 A.D), Pliny the Elder (23 B.C - 79 A.D), and Seneca (4 B.C.- 65 A.D) do not mention Jesus. Luke admits that he is merely an interpreter of the events he writes of and not an eyewitness (Luke 1:1-4). What non-Christian sources we have come from men who were born decades after his death (Josephus Flavius, Tacitus, Pliny the Younger). To further confuse matters, what we find in Matthew regarding Jesus's birth is not found in Luke, and vice versa.
Followers hold that: 1) Jesus fulfilled the Old Testament prophecy of The Christ or Messiah who would come from the tribe of Judah through King David; and 2) Jesus was born of his mother, Mary, not by her husband, Joseph, but by The Holy Spirit. Virgin birth is common in folklore, central to the myths of Ra, Krishna, Quetzalcoatl, Karna, Perseus, Mnos, Dionysus, and Hercules. Amenkept, Zoroaster, Siddhrtha Gautama, Alexander the Great, Constantine, and Nero also claimed to be of virgin birth as a way to claim superiority over all others. Yet, Jesus could not claim to be of David he had been fathered by The Holy Spirit. Futhermore, 2nd Kings, 2nd Chronicles, Ezra, and Nehemiah indicate that all of David's descendants were killed at the time of the return from the exile, thus, there were no princes left to continue the royal line.
Jesus was the eldest of four brothers and sisters (Mark 6:3; Matthew 12:46; Matthew 13:55-56), which, ironically, further undermines the claim of his virgin birth. Joseph taught him carpentry, by which Jesus earned his living until he began his ministry. Luke 2:42-50 states that when Jesus was 12, Mary and Joseph took him to Jerusalem for Passover. They were back in Nazareth when they realized that Jesus wasn't with their group. They returned to Jerusalem, and found him in the Temple with the with the Masters of the Law, Jewish priests trained to interpret the Scriptures. Based on what can be gleamed from The Gospels, Jesus may have been able to read. He was certainly acquainted with much of the Old Testament; his mode of argumentation resembled that of the contemporary rabbis. So, he could have been sophisticated enough at that age to hold his own in a discussion of the Scriptures with the Masters.
Jesus is next mentioned in The Gospels after he reaches adulthood. He performs many miracles, two of the most famous of which were feeding 5,000 men in the wilderness, and raising Lazarus of Bethany from the dead. Two essentials of his teachings came from John the Baptist: 1) repentance; and 2) the coming of the Kingdom of God. However, he differentiated from John in his: 1) comparative neglect of Mosaic Law; and 2) attitudes toward infractions of it. While he aimed to redeem those who had strayed morally, he forbade his disciples to seek out heathens and Samaritans; for that reason, he first refused to heal the Syrophenician woman's daughter (Mark 7:27). Unlike John, Jesus refused to fast, and allowed his followers to gather corn on the Sabbath.
