Jesus Christ
c. 1st century CE · Galilee and Jerusalem · Christianity
Jesus of Nazareth, born in Bethlehem according to the Gospels, taught in Galilee and Judea. His teaching, as recorded in the Gospels of the New Testament, centres on love of God and of one’s neighbour, forgiveness, humility and care for the poor and outcast, as in the Sermon on the Mount and the Lord’s Prayer. He was crucified in Jerusalem. Christians believe he is the Son of God and that he rose from the dead, celebrated at Easter; Christmas marks his birth. In Islam he is honoured as the prophet ʿĪsā.
