Pictures Of Jesus Birth Biography
JESUS CHRIST, one of the MOST FAMOUS figures in history, was a Prophet, Teacher, Healed Sick People, Performed Exorcisms and Miracles, Proclaimed the SON OF GOD, Betrayed by his OWN Disciple and was CRUCIFIED and DIED all by the age of 33!
Jesus Christ, also called Jesus of Nazareth, was born on December 25, 4 B.C. in Bethlehem. Jesus was a teacher and prophet, whose teachings form the basis of Christianity. Christians believe that Jesus is the SON OF GOD and "Christ" (the Chosen One, prophesied in the Old Testament). Jesus was considered both God and man and the Messiah sent by God to save the human race from "sins" it inherited originally from the "evils" of Adam and Eve.
The Four Gospels of the Bible say that Jesus had a "miracle" birth in Bethlehem and was conceived by the Virgin Mary through the power of God. Jesus was raised by Mary and her husband, Joseph. At a young age, Jesus amazed his teachers with his vast knowledge at the Temple in Jerusalem. He became a teacher and prophet and even foretold his own death. His followers were called "apostles." Jesus and the apostles toured Palestine preaching the gospel of God, healing sick people, performing exorcisms and many miracles. He believed in the acceptance of the oppressed and the poor into the Kingdom of God and had many followers and fans, but also had vicious enemies and non-believers.
Jesus was causing havoc and problems for the Romans and the Jews. Pontius Pilate, the Roman Perfect of Judea, condemned Jesus and ordered, with the prompting of the Jewish authorities, the CRUCIFIXION of Jesus. On the "Last Supper," Jesus ate the last meal with his disciples before his death. At the Last Supper, Jesus said the famous line, "Truly, I say to you, one of you will betray me, one who is eating with me." He then told the apostles to eat his bread and wine, which were symbols of his body and blood. The betrayer turned out to be Judas, one of his 12 Apostles. The Romans, who were the rulers at the time, sentenced Jesus to be crucified. At the age of 33, JESUS CHRIST WAS CRUCIFIED and DIED ON THE CROSS.
Christians say that Jesus Christ was recurrected 3 days after dying, proving that Jesus was DIVINE. The day that Jesus was crucified is called "Good Friday" and the day he was resurrected is called "Easter." Christians believe that JESUS CHRIST made SALVATION possible for the "SINNERS."
Jesus Christ is a popular figure throughout history, with art and music masterpieces centered on the theme of Christ. Among them, Ludwig van Beethoven composed the powerful Oratorio "Christ on the Mount of Olives," George Frederick Handel wrote the brilliant Oratorio "Messiah" and Leonardo Da Vinci painted the masterpiece "Last Supper," based on Jesus Christ's last meal with his apostles.
JESUS (d. 30 C.E.), whom Christianity sees as its founder and object of faith, was a Jew who lived toward the end of the Second Commonwealth period. The martyrdom of his brother James is narrated by Josephus (Ant. 20:200–3), but the passage in the same work (18:63–64) speaking about the life and death of Jesus was either rewritten by a Christian or represents a Christian interpolation. The first Roman authors to mention Jesus are Tacitus and Suetonius. The historicity of Jesus is proved by the very nature of the records in the New Testament, especially the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. The Gospels are records about the life of Jesus. John's Gospel is more a treatise reflecting the theology of its author than a biography of Jesus, but Matthew, Mark, and Luke present a reasonably faithful picture of Jesus as a Jew of his time. The picture of Jesus contained in them is not so much of a redeemer of mankind as of a Jewish miracle maker and preacher. The Jesus portrayed in these three Gospels is, therefore, the historical Jesus.
The Gospels
The precise date of the composition of the Gospels is not known, but all four were written before 100 C.E. and it is certain that Matthew, Mark, and Luke are interdependent. Scholars call these three the Synoptic Gospels because they can be written in parallel columns, such form being called synopsis. It is generally accepted that the main substance of the Synoptic Gospels comes from two sources: an old account of the life of Jesus which is reproduced by Mark, and a collection of Jesus' sayings used in conjuction with the old account by Matthew and Luke. Most scholars today identify the old account that lies behind Mark with the known Gospel of Mark, but a serious analysis, based especially upon the supposed Hebrew original, shows that Mark had entirely rewritten the material. It may be assumed, therefore, that the old account, and not the revision, was known to both Luke and Matthew. According to R. Lindsey (see bibliography), Matthew and Luke, besides drawing upon the sayings, also drew directly upon the old account; the editor of Mark used Luke for his version, and Matthew, besides using the old account, often drew also upon Mark. Lindsey's conclusions are also supported by other arguments.
Both of the chief sources of the Synoptic Gospels, the old account, and the collection of Jesus' sayings, were produced in the primitive Christian congregation in Jerusalem, and were translated into Greek from Aramaic or Hebrew. They contained the picture of Jesus as seen by the disciples who knew him. The present Gospels are redactions of these two sources, which were often changed as a result of ecclesiastical tendentiousness. This becomes especially clear in the description of Jesus' trial and crucifixion in which all Gospel writers to some degree exaggerate Jewish "guilt" and minimize Pilate's involvement. As the tension between the *Church and the Synagogue grew, Christians were not interested in stressing the fact that the founder of their faith was executed by a Roman magistrate. But even in the case of Jesus' trial, as in other instances, advance toward historical reality can be made by comparing the sources according to principles of literary criticism and in conjunction with the study of the Judaism of the time.
