  1. Jesus Christ

  2. Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ orJesus, is the centralfigure of Christianitywhich views him as theMessiahforetold in the Old Testament. Most Christian denominations believehimtobe the Son of God who was raised from the dead.

  3. He is one of the most influential figures in human history. The principal sources of information regarding Jesus` life and teachings are the four canonical gospels, especially the Synoptic Gospels, though some scholars argue such texts as the Gospel of Thomas and the Gospel of the Hebrews are also relevant.

  4. Life and teachings, as told in the Gospels • The four canonical gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John , are the main sources for the biography of Jesus' life; nevertheless, these Gospels were written with the intention of glorifying Jesus and are not strictly biographical in nature.For example, the Gospels primarily characterize Jesus as the Messiah: he performs miracles and is often described as having a very close relationship to the Jewish God—the phrase "Son of God" is attributed to Jesus at least once in each Gospel.The Gospels (especially Matthew) present Jesus' birth, life, death, and resurrection as fulfillment of prophecies found in the Hebrew Bible

  5. According to the Synoptics, Jesus came with his followers to Jerusalem during the Passover festival where a large crowd came to meet him, shouting, "Hosanna! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Blessed is the King of Israel!" Following his triumphal entry, Jesus created a disturbance at Herod's Templeby overturning the tables of the moneychangers who set up shop there, and claiming that they had made the Temple a "den of robbers". In Jerusalem

  6. Later that week, Jesus celebrated the Passover meal with his disciples—an event subsequently known as the Last Supper — in which he prophesied that he would be betrayed by one of his disciples, and would then be executed. In this ritual he took bread and wine in hand, saying: “This is my body which is given for you" and “This cup which is poured out for you is the New Covenant in my blood", and instructed them to "do this in remembranceof me”. Following the supper, Jesus and his disciples went to pray in the Garden of Gethsemane.

  7. While in the Garden, Jesus is arrestedby temple guards on the orders of the Sanhedrin and the high priest, Caiaphas.The arrest takes place clandestinely at night to avoid a riot, as Jesus is popular with the people at large. JudasIscariot, one of his apostles, betrays Jesus by identifying him to the guards with a kiss. Simon Peter, another one of Jesus' apostles, uses a sword to attack one of Jesus' captors, cutting off his ear, which, according to Luke, Jesus immediately heals miraculously.Jesus rebukes the apostle, stating "all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword".After his arrest, Jesus' apostles go into hiding; Judas, distraught by his betrayal of Jesus, commits suicide shortly after. Betrayal and arrest

  8. In Mark, Jesus is stripped, flogged, mocked, and crowned with thorns. He is crucified between two thieves, and his cross states that he is being executed for aspiring to be the king of the Jews. He begins to recite Psalm 22, "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me."He utters a loud cry and dies.According to all four Gospels, Jesus died before late afternoon at Calvary, which was also called Golgotha. In Luke, Jesus faces his crucifixion stolidly. He asks God to forgive those who are crucifying him, possibly the Romans and possibly the Jews. Death

  9. One of the thieves states that Jesus has done nothing wrong and asks Jesus to remember him in the Kingdom, and Jesus replies that the thief will be with him in Paradise.The Synoptic Gospels tell of the darkening of the skyfrom twelve until three that afternoon; Matthew also mentions an earthquake. "At that moment the curtain of the temple was torn in two from top to bottom. The earth shook, the rocks split." John omits the phenomena accompanying Jesus' death.[The tearing of the temple parokhet, upon the death of Jesus, is referenced by Matthew, Mark and Luke.
