Jézus, also known as Jesus Christ, is a central figure in Christianity. He is believed to be the Son of God and the awaited Messiah, or Christ, prophesied in the Old Testament. His teachings emphasize love, compassion, and forgiveness, and he is known for performing miracles, such as healing the sick and feeding the hungry. Jézus was born in Bethlehem around 4 to 6 B.C. and grew up in Nazareth. His life and teachings are documented in the New Testament, particularly in the four Gospels: Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John. Jézus was crucified around 30-33 A.D., and Christians believe that his resurrection from the dead offers salvation to humanity.
