Introduction

Jesus was born in Israel 2000 years ago. For His first thirty years, Jesus lived a traditional Jewish life, working as a carpenter. During this time, all of Israel was under Caesar’s Roman dictatorship, including Bethlehem, where Jesus was born, and Nazareth, where he was raised.

In His thirties, Jesus began his public teaching and display of recorded miracles, yet still never travelled more than 200 miles from his birthplace. Over a three year period, Jesus’ reputation spread nationwide. The story of Jesus is the story of the life of the greatest man who ever lived.
