The name Jesus derives from a Hebrew word meaning “the Lord saves.” His titles Christ (derived from Greek) and Messiah (derived from Hebrew) mean “Anointed One.” Jesus was born in Bethlehem, about 6-4 B.C.E., to Mary and Joseph, a descendant of King David. His early life was spent in Nazareth in Galilee. Jesus was baptized by John the Baptist, and then began a ministry of teaching and working miracles. He lived for a time in Capernaum in Galilee. Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem under Pontius Pilate around 30 C.E. He rose from the dead on the third day and appeared to his followers.
