According to the Bible, Jesus born to save the people from their sins. According to the explanation in the Gospels made his death the possible reconciliation with God the father, by being the penalty for the sins of mankind upon himself: Jesus is "the Lamb of God who takes away the sin of the world." The view that Jesus with his cross death man reconciles with God, is described as reconciliation learn. The principle of the ' justification by faith ' Abrahamic got thereby a new meaning: anyone who follows Jesus, will for God justified (rehabilitated) are.

Central to the theology of Christianity are described in the New Testament : the birth of Jesus (Christmas), his death on the cross (Good Friday), the resurrection from the dead (Easter), the Ascension (Ascension Day), the descend of the Holy Spirit on his disciples (Pentecost) and the return (the second coming). In the Christian tradition has always been little attention to the action of Jesus during his life and teachings which Jesus proclaimed, this despite the fact that an important part of the books of the Bible here though is about.

The resurrection from the dead is considered by most Christians taken literally. This event takes place in Christianity in a crucial, because for them the final victory of death, and thus expresses an open future. Paul also mentions in his first letter to the Christians of Corinth the resurrection of Jesus taken literally the central point in the Gospel: In other words, the entire Christian faith hinges on the resurrection. It is a very important symbol of the hope of ' new life ', ' life after this life ' and ' eternity with God '. ==Life of Jesus according to the Bible[ Edit] == The life course of Jesus in a nutshell by Matthias GrünewaldTo use to reconstruct the life story of Jesus Christians the texts gradually part become part of the New Testament from the Bible, and especially the four Gospels:

In addition, there are some introductory pieces that don't go about Jesus ' early life as such (the genealogies, the actions of John the Baptist, the prologue of the Gospel of John). ===The birth of Jesus<span class="mw-editsection" len="360" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The Gospels to Lucas and Matthew indicate that Jesus in the Bethlehemplace, located in the region of Judea, was born of a virgin girl called Maria, and that he was fathered by her in the Holy Spirit of God. Mary was engaged to JosephCarpenter, a distant descendant of King David, with whom she then was married. When he learned that she was pregnant, he secretly wanted to break the engagement not to bring her in trouble. But at night he got a dream, in which he was told what and for what purpose the with Maria had happened, and that he had to take her into his house. Joseph obeyed in it.

C.) a Roman census was held. Every inhabitant of the area where Herod the great (37-4 BC), the Roman vassal King, ruled had to register in the original hometown of the ancestors. Joseph, the fiance of Mary, Judeeër of King David was a descended. He originally came from Bethlehem. Therefore he had to with Mary, who was heavily pregnant, travel to Bethlehem to register. They tried to find shelter there. The Inn was overcrowded. In the end, Jesus born in a room where a crib (cribis an old word for this) was, which according to traditional interpretations means that this space must have been a cattle<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-8" len="184" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[8] .

The wise men brought him a visit on further orientation, because they are out of the State of the star understands that there is a King's son had to be born. Herod summoned a number of scribes to accurately verify in what place this King could have been born. The scribes could on the basis of a passage from the Old Testament book of Micah, the Prophet to the King say that it went to Bethlehem.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-10" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [10]

' Jesus and John the Baptist as a child ' by Bartolomé Estéban Murillo<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Herod left the modes promise to tell him where exactly was this ' King ', when they had found him. Herod was immediately apprehensive about his throne when he learned that there is a possible competitor was born and wanted to nip in the bud this ' danger '. The elders, however, were warned in a dream that Herod mischievous. That is why they went, after they had visited Jesus and his parents, in a roundabout way back to where they had come from. As ' precaution ' Herod left when all children two years old and younger in Bethlehem killed. This event is known as ' the infanticide of Bethlehem '. But Jesus escaped this massacre, because his parents had fled with him to Egypt in due time, after in a dream to be warned. After the death of Herodes they returned not to Judea to Galilee, but they pulled back and settled then in the Galilean village Nazareth. ===The childhood of Jesus<span class="mw-editsection" len="357" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">About the youth of Jesus stands little in the Bible. The Jewish family lived in the village of Nazareth in the province of Galilee. The Bible tells that the young Jesus to Jewish use was circumcised on the eighth day and that his parents presented him at the age of twelve in the Temple in Jerusalem with the comment: "all now that heard him, were amazed by his wits and his answers." To read in the Gospel of Lucas is that he grew up, powerful and wise was, and that ' the grace of God ' on him. The same evangelist tells that he was about thirty years when he began his public action.

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">Jesus grew up with family. He is called Carpenter<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-11" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[11]  and one lists its relatives on: Jacob, Joseph, Simeon and Judah and unnamed women. These are called his "brothers and sisters" . However, there is a tradition that dates back to the third century, that Mary ever-Virgin has remained. In that case, the children from a previous marriage of Joseph been either, or further relatives. The evangelists tell that Jesus ' brothers only after his resurrection have believed in him. Because Joseph in the Gospels, remains out of the picture entirely assumed that he died before Jesus began his preaching. It used Word for Carpenter, tektoon, can be another work type mean, for example in the construction contractor.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-12" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [12] ===The public appearance of Jesus<span class="mw-editsection" len="370" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === Jesus baptized by John the Baptist ' by Piero della Francesca.<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">The public appearance of Jesus (by all four evangelists described) starts with John the Baptist. This gathers many followers at the Jordaan and calls on the people to repent of their sins and to repent in order to the last judgement and the approaching end times. Some followers of John the Baptist clearly hear in the later disciples of Jesus<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-13" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[13]. Also Jesus is by him be baptized, receive the Holy Spirit of God in the form of a dove which John descend on him.

Jesus appeared to Saint Augustine of Hippo wall painting in the San Marco Cathedral in Milan<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">If John the Baptist is later captured and beheaded by King Herod Antipas (son of Herod I), Jesus takes his task. Unlike John preaches Jesus is not the judgement but the grace of God. The Gospels stories about the time Jesus travels by Palestine. In doing so, he started in Galilee and preached in synagogues, but also on all sorts of places in the open air. He went to with generally despised people such as prostitutes and publicans (tax collectors). He did many miracles: he healed people of all kinds of diseases, drove out demons and woke up dead on; He walked across the water and calmed a storm; He changed water into wine and fed five thousand hearers with five loaves of bread and two fish; he chased money changers and merchants of the temple square. He often went in discussion withJewish scholars. Regularly he sought solitude in order to pray to his father (God).

<p style="margin-top:0.5em;margin-bottom:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">He traveled not only but he chose twelve men who are 'disciples' (pupils) and later, after his death 'Apostles' (messengers) are called.Most of them were fishermen from Galilee, which accompanied him and those he taught in his teachings. Three of them, Peter, Johnand James, were to the seems to be closer to Jesus than the others. Indication of this is the fact that these three were the only witnesses of some special events. For example at Transfiguration of Jesus (' the Transfiguration on the mountain '), with Moses andElijah appeared to them, and a voice from a radiant cloud called for them to listen to Jesus: "this is my beloved son, I find joy in him.Listen to him. "<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-14" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [14]  Also were allowed by the twelve disciples only Peter, John and James present at the raising of the daughter of Jairus from the dead. Apart from the twelve disciples followed a large number of other men and women Jesus on his foot tours in the country. However, it remained the disciple Judas Iscariot not faithful. ===Jesus ' arrest and crucifixion<span class="mw-editsection" len="372" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === 'The last supper"by Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519)<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In Jerusalem, just before Pesach (Jewish feast of Passover), has Judas Iscariot, one of the disciples, against payment of thirty pieces of silver, Jesus extradited to the Jewish high priests. The arrest took place just after thelast supper that Jesus celebrated with his disciples he had washed their feet and which had. An exceptional Act of humility in their eyes. Jesus was arrested in the middle of the night in the Garden of Gethsemane, an olive grovejust outside the walls of Jerusalem. He was interrogated by the Sanhedrin, the Jewish Council of elders, the Chief priests and scribes, then by the Roman prefect Pontius Pilate, Pilate, Herod Antipas and again where he was accused of blasphemous statements. Finally, he was sentenced to death with a wooden cross, a usual at that time, but particularly cruel form of death penalty for rioters. The sentence was carried out on a hill Golgotha(Aramaic for ' Skull place ') was called. Also two criminals were crucifiedwith Jesus. Above his head was confirmed a sign with the text: ' Iesus Nazarenus Rex Iudaeorum "(Jesus of Nazareth, King of the Jews), on many paintings shown as ' INRI '.

About noon ', there was darkness over the whole country, which lasted three hours '<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-15" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[15]  <sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-16" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[16]  when Jesus after voicing "it is finished" died and gave up the ghost, found a earthquake, which is mentioned only by the evangelist Matthew, where "the graves were opened and the bodies of many saints died to life were wake up".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-17" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [17]  Also ripped the ' veil ', the secessionist curtain between the sacred and the Holy of Holiesin the temple, middle, top to bottom. The planned but not yet drapings's embalmed body and herbs of Jesus, was buried in an unused private tomb of the richJoseph of Arimathea. A heavy grave stone was sure rolled and the stone was sealed. The Jewish Council asked the Roman Lieutenant Governor a waiting at the Tomb to keep an eye on everything, because it was feared that the followers of Jesus would steal his body to be able to claim that he was risen from the dead. It was known to many that Jesus predicted during his lifetime that he would be killed but on the third day after that would resurrect from the dead. Pilate therefore only available to Roman soldiers suggested the Tomb guard.

Both in the Gospels as in some of the letters in the New Testament refers to a large number of appearances of Jesus (at least five hundred) followers, and of talks and a last meal with his disciples.

Then he took leave. Jesus gave his disciples the command are good news of forgiveness of sins through his death and resurrection, with which a new Covenant between God and man had come into being, to spread all over the world; and he promised them that he would come back (the ' second coming '). Then he sailed on to Heaven (the ' Ascension ').

The Gospel of John gives under more parables where Jesus much more "I am"-functions in itself involves, such as: "I am the true vine"; "I am the door"; "I am the good Shepherd"; "I am the light for the world"; "I am the bread of life". These claims he never stand on their own, but he added there is invariably a promise to fix. For example: "I am the light for the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but has light that gives life. " He summarized his mission together with the line: "I am the way, the truth and the life, no man cometh unto the father but by me" and "I and the father are one". But Jesus also took distance to God: ''Why call ye me good? No one is good but Godalone<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-30" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[30]  and: I sail on to my father and your father, to my God and your God<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-31" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;">[31] .''

' ".<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-32" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [32]  these words were for the high priest and the other members of the Sanhedrin enough to accuse him of blasphemy and to condemn him to death.For a Jew was the equating himself to God the greatest possible sin and the album the death penalty. ==The Mission of Jesus<span class="mw-editsection" len="361" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the three years of his public appearance in Galilee and Judea, he warned his core followers regularly for the impending apotheosis, and the inevitable goodbye. He indicated that on several occasions he had to suffer and die as described, but again would get up. This he stated that he knew that his life would end, but that he chose to obey his command. This is dramatically reflected in the garden of Gethsemane, where Jesus according to mark 14: 36 surrenders himself in agony: "father, if it is possible, let this cup pass from me then! But don't let it happen like I want, but the way you want it. " At his capture resisted in particular Peter is but Jesus prevented this according to Matthew with the words: <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">This indicates that Jesus according to Matthew was aware that he had to bring God's reconciliation plan. He had, if he had wanted, never owned have to come from the secular authorities such as the Sanhedrin or the Roman and Herodian rulers. On several occasions, recounted in the Gospel, Jesus is a supernatural authority showed that the bystanders made him impossible to do something about it. Only with the imprisonment and the subsequent ' process ' Jesus made no use of his divine authority more and he let himself as an innocent lamb to the slaughter ' lead ' as predicted by the Old Testament prophets and by Jesus himself during his public appearance according to the Gospels. Jesus ' death was not involuntarily and tragic end of a Jewish rabbi but carried out by God, for centuries the pre-announced, ' rescue plan ' for the fallen man in paradise.

He said will return to ' the father ' back, from where he would continue to assist the faithful. He promised that his followers would receive the ' Holy Spirit ' to lead them further on ' the road '. He also promised his return to Earth, at a time when ' the father ' would determine, he already gave clear characteristics of the time for his return: apostasy, love that cools down, many wars and civil wars, many epidemics and famines and earthquakes and so on. Just before his Ascension Jesus in front of his disciples stressed the importance that his message of salvation and liberation by forgiveness of sins, be made known to the whole world.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-34" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [34]  the other Gospels and Acts do not explicitly mention this. ==The appearance of Jesus<span class="mw-editsection" len="363" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;font-family:sans-serif;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] == <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">In the New Testament, almost no mention about the appearance of Jesus. Only that he grew up into a powerful young man.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-35" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [35]  he was so sure good healthy of body and members. Among the Jews it is forbidden to make portraits and so there are also among the first Christians, who often still converted Jews, no images were surrendered. In the early Christian art, in the catacombs and in the early Roman churches as theBasilica di Santa Prassede, he is often depicted as ' the good Shepherd ' with a clean-shaven face, like a radiant Apollo: a young man in a white robe. However, this was not common among Jewish men around the first century. Also other variations of Jesus ' appearance from that first centuries are well known.

For those who the controversial shroud of Turin as authentic, the image contained therein a Jesus that for that time was rather long (between 180 and 190 cm) and powerfully built. The face looks a lot like the traditional Jesus portrait. Whether Jesus really has looked so is impossible to verify. A recent attempt at reconstruction of Jesus ' appearance is in 2010 in order of History Channel which of the latest graphics software techniques used was made. The image on the shroud of Turin was used as a source of information.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-36" len="186" style="line-height:1;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"> [36]
