Jesus was born to Mary and Joseph sometime in the fourth century according to the gospel of Matthew. The exact date is not sure because there were no records kept at that time. It was told that Mary had conceived a child before she was married to Joseph. In that time, it was taboo to have a child before marriage. When Joseph found out about this, he was going to call off the wedding. That night an angel appeared to him in a dream and told him that Mary was a virgin. Mary had conceived through an immaculate conception by the Holy Spirit. The Angel said that Mary would have a male child, and he should call him Jesus.…

From humble beginnings, Jesus Christ grew to be a major Jewish leader in the First Century AD, gaining a huge group of followers, but also a faction of Jewish priests who resented his teachings and growing power. Christians believe Jesus was born to Mary, who was a virgin but is purported to have conceived through the works of the Holy Spirit (7). She discovered this when the angel Gabriel appeared to Mary and told her she would give birth to Jesus, the Son of God (11-Luke 1.26-35). Ironically, although our entire calendar is based on the tradition of Jesus’ birth taking place in the year 1 AD, this is probably not the case. The Bible doesn’t list specific dates, only reference points such as the Roman governor at the time Jesus was born.…

The earliest available records of the life of Jesus are the four Gospel narratives, which were written by Jesus' followers within a few decades of his death. A handful of other sources from the first and the second centuries, including Christian, Roman, Jewish, and Gnostic sources, also mention Jesus. Jesus was from a small town called Nazareth.

Jesus was born approximately 350 years after the prophecy had ended, therefore the Jewish religion believe he could not be the prophet, and or the Messiah. The Messiah was said to be a descendant of King David, King David ruled Israel during the Age of Perfection. In order to be the Messiah he must be descended from King David on his father’s side. Jesus’s mother Mary or the “Mother of God” had a Virgin Birth, meaning Mary conceived Jesus by the action of the Holy Spirit while remaining a virgin. “Now the birth of Jesus Christ was on this wise: When as his mother Mary was espoused to Joseph, before they came together, she was found with child of the Holy Ghost.”…
The Gospel of Matthew states that: "Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king". However, Luke's gospel describes the birth as taking place during the first census, which is extensively believed to have occurred in 6 AD/CE. It is believed that Jesus was born in a manger in Bethlehem with his mother Mary and father Joseph.…
