About Jesus Christ.
In about AD 30,a young Jewish man began to preach in Palestine that he was the son of God, the Messiah, or the anointed one, that the Jews had been expecting.Many people accepted his message and his following grew rapidly.The Jewish authorities resented his work, and he was arrested and crucified by the Roman governor of Palestine in about AD 33.Within a century, his message had spread throughout Asia Minor and throughout Europe, becoming tolerated throughout the mighty Roman Empire in 313.Today, Christianity, the religion of his followers, is one of the world's greatest faiths.
Jesus was born in Bethlehem in what is now the Israeli-occupied West Bank.He trained as a carpenter.The Bible says that his mother,Mary, was a virgin when she gave birth.In his early 30s,he gave up his work and devoted his time to preaching and healing.
Death
After three years preaching ,Jesus was arrested by Roman authorities who governed Palestine a that time.He was tried by the Roman governor Pontius Pilate, tortured and crucified.
Crucifixion
Jesus was put to death by crucifixion-being nailed to a wooden cross-a common form of punishment in the Roman Empire.His followers believed that three days later,he rose from the dead.
