Jesus c. was a Hebrew preacher on whose
teachings Christianity was founded. According
to the accounts of his life in the four
Gospels, he was born in Bethlehem, Palestine,
son of God and the Virgin Mary, and brought
up by Mary and her husband Joseph as a
carpenter in Nazareth. After adult baptism,
he gathered 12 disciples, but his preaching
antagonized the Roman authorities and he was
executed by crucifixion.
