1. Historical Background of Jesus
1.1 Birth and Early Life
Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, was a first-century Jewish preacher and religious leader who
became the central figure of Christianity. He was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the region governed by Herod
the Great, during the reign of the Roman Emperor Augustus. The Gospel of Luke places His birth approximately
around 4–6 BCE, coinciding with a census decreed by Caesar Augustus.
His mother was Mary, a young Jewish woman from Nazareth in Galilee, and His earthly father was Joseph, a
carpenter descended from the royal line of King David. Christians hold that Jesus was conceived by the Holy
Spirit and born of a virgin, fulfilling the prophecy in Isaiah 7:14.
"Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and
shall call his name Immanuel." — Isaiah 7:14 (KJV)
1.2 Baptism and the Beginning of Ministry
Jesus began His public ministry around the age of 30 (Luke 3:23). He was baptized by John the Baptist in the
Jordan River, an event that marked the formal beginning of His ministry. At His baptism, the Holy Spirit
descended upon Him in the form of a dove, and a voice from heaven declared His divine sonship.
"And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened
unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from
heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased." — Matthew 3:16-17 (KJV)
1.3 Geography of His Ministry
Jesus conducted most of His ministry in the region of Galilee in northern Israel, with significant events also
occurring in Judea and Jerusalem. Key locations include:
Location Significance
Bethlehem Birthplace of Jesus (Matthew 2:1)
Nazareth Childhood home; 'Jesus of Nazareth' (Luke 2:51)
Capernaum Base for Galilean ministry (Matthew 4:13)

Sea of Galilee Calling of disciples; walking on water (Matthew 14:25)
Bethany Raising of Lazarus (John 11:1)
Gethsemane Prayer before arrest (Luke 22:39-46)
2. Core Teachings of Jesus
2.1 The Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7)
The Sermon on the Mount is the most comprehensive collection of Jesus's teachings recorded in the New
Testament. It is found in Matthew chapters 5 through 7 and covers ethics, prayer, fasting, wealth, and the nature
of the Kingdom of God. It begins with the Beatitudes — a series of blessings that describe characteristics of those
who belong to God's kingdom.
The Beatitudes — Matthew 5:3-12 (KJV)
"Blessed are the poor in spirit: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
— Matthew 5:3 (KJV)
"Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be comforted."
— Matthew 5:4 (KJV)
"Blessed are the meek: for they shall inherit the earth."
— Matthew 5:5 (KJV)
"Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled."
— Matthew 5:6 (KJV)
"Blessed are the merciful: for they shall obtain mercy."
— Matthew 5:7 (KJV)
"Blessed are the pure in heart: for they shall see God."
— Matthew 5:8 (KJV)
"Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God."
— Matthew 5:9 (KJV)
"Blessed are they which are persecuted for righteousness' sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
— Matthew 5:10 (KJV)
"Blessed are ye, when men shall revile you, and persecute you, and shall say all manner of evil against you
falsely, for my sake."
— Matthew 5:11 (KJV)
"Rejoice, and be exceeding glad: for great is your reward in heaven: for so persecuted they the prophets
which were before you."
— Matthew 5:12 (KJV)
2.2 The Great Commandments
When asked which commandment was the greatest, Jesus gave a two-part answer that summarised the entire Law
and the Prophets. This exchange is recorded in Matthew 22:36-40.
"Master, which is the great commandment in the law? Jesus said unto him, Thou shalt love the Lord thy
God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first and great
commandment. And the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the law and the prophets."
— Matthew 22:36-40 (KJV)
2.3 The New Commandment
At the Last Supper, Jesus gave His disciples a new commandment, which defines Christian community and is
sometimes called the 'Johannine commandment'.
"A new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one
another. By this shall all men know that ye are my disciples, if ye have love one to another."
— John 13:34-35 (KJV)
2.4 The Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-13)
Jesus taught His disciples how to pray through what is commonly called the Lord's Prayer or the 'Our Father'.
This prayer appears in two forms in the Gospels — Matthew 6:9-13 and Luke 11:2-4. The Matthean version is
more commonly used in liturgy across Catholic, Protestant, and Orthodox traditions.
"Our Father which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth, as
it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the
glory, for ever. Amen."
— Matthew 6:9-13 (KJV)
2.5 The Great Commission
After His resurrection, Jesus gave His disciples the Great Commission — the mandate to spread the Gospel to all
nations. This forms the theological basis for Christian missionary activity worldwide.
"Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you
always, even unto the end of the world. Amen."
— Matthew 28:19-20 (KJV)
3. Parables of Jesus
Jesus frequently taught through parables — short illustrative stories drawn from everyday life that convey
spiritual truths. The Gospels record approximately 40 parables. Jesus explained that parables were used to reveal
truth to sincere seekers while concealing it from those hardened in unbelief (Matthew 13:10-13).
The Prodigal Son
Scripture Reference: Luke 15:11-32
A father's unconditional love for a repentant son who squandered his inheritance. Illustrates God's forgiveness
and the joy of repentance. The elder son's reaction also illustrates the danger of self-righteousness.
The Good Samaritan
Scripture Reference: Luke 10:25-37
A Samaritan helps a man beaten by robbers, while religious leaders pass by. Teaches that love for neighbour
crosses ethnic and religious boundaries. Given in response to the question 'Who is my neighbour?'
The Parable of the Sower
Scripture Reference: Matthew 13:3-23; Mark 4:3-20; Luke 8:5-15
A sower scatters seed on four types of ground: path, rocky soil, thorns, and good soil. Jesus explains that the seed
is the Word of God and the soils represent different conditions of the human heart.
The Lost Sheep
Scripture Reference: Matthew 18:12-14; Luke 15:3-7
A shepherd leaves 99 sheep to find one lost sheep, illustrating God's eagerness to seek out the lost. 'There is joy in
the presence of the angels of God over one sinner that repenteth' (Luke 15:10).
The Talents
Scripture Reference: Matthew 25:14-30
A master gives servants varying amounts of money. Those who invest and grow what they receive are rewarded;
the one who buries his talent is rebuked. Teaches faithful stewardship of gifts God has given.
The Ten Virgins
Scripture Reference: Matthew 25:1-13
Five wise virgins bring extra oil for their lamps; five foolish ones do not. When the bridegroom arrives, the
foolish are left out. Teaches readiness and preparedness for Christ's return.
The Mustard Seed
Scripture Reference: Matthew 13:31-32; Mark 4:30-32; Luke 13:18-19
The Kingdom of God begins small like a mustard seed but grows into a large tree. Illustrates the organic, growing
nature of God's kingdom from small beginnings.
The Rich Man and Lazarus
Scripture Reference: Luke 16:19-31
A rich man and a poor man (Lazarus) die; their eternal destinies are reversed. Not technically a parable but a
teaching story on wealth, poverty, and the afterlife. Features Abraham's bosom and a great chasm.
4. Miracles of Jesus
The Gospels record approximately 37 miracles performed by Jesus, categorised into healings, nature miracles,
exorcisms, and resurrections. These miracles were signs (Greek: semeia) pointing to His divine identity and the
arrival of God's kingdom.

4.1 The Raising of Lazarus — Extended Account
The raising of Lazarus (John 11:1-45) is the most dramatic miracle recorded in the Gospels. Lazarus of Bethany,
the brother of Mary and Martha, had been dead and entombed for four days when Jesus arrived. The narrative
includes the shortest verse in the KJV Bible:
"Jesus wept."
— John 11:35 (KJV) — the shortest verse in the Bible
Jesus then prayed aloud and called Lazarus out of the tomb, a miracle that directly precipitated the plot by the
Sanhedrin to have Jesus arrested and killed (John 11:53). This miracle is recorded only in the Gospel of John.
"And when he thus had spoken, he cried with a loud voice, Lazarus, come forth. And he that was dead came
forth, bound hand and foot with graveclothes: and his face was bound about with a napkin. Jesus saith unto
them, Loose him, and let him go."
— John 11:43-44 (KJV)
5. The Passion, Death, and Resurrection
5.1 The Last Supper
The Last Supper took place on the eve of the Passover, in an upper room in Jerusalem. Jesus shared a final meal
with His twelve disciples, during which He instituted the Eucharist (Lord's Supper / Communion), foretold
Judas's betrayal, and washed the disciples' feet as an act of servant leadership.
"And he took bread, and gave thanks, and brake it, and gave unto them, saying, This is my body which is
given for you: this do in remembrance of me. Likewise also the cup after supper, saying, This cup is the
new testament in my blood, which is shed for you."
— Luke 22:19-20 (KJV)
5.2 The Crucifixion
Jesus was crucified at Golgotha (Aramaic: 'Place of the Skull', Latin: Calvary) outside the walls of Jerusalem,
under the Roman governor Pontius Pilate. The crucifixion is dated by most scholars to Friday, 3 April 33 AD (or
7 April 30 AD). He was crucified alongside two criminals. The charge posted above His cross read: 'JESUS OF
NAZARETH THE KING OF THE JEWS' (John 19:19).
Jesus spoke seven statements from the cross, known as the 'Seven Last Words':
"Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do."
— Luke 23:34 (KJV)
"Verily I say unto thee, To day shalt thou be with me in paradise."
— Luke 23:43 (KJV)
"Woman, behold thy son!... Behold thy mother!"
— John 19:26-27 (KJV)
"My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"
— Matthew 27:46 (KJV)
"I thirst."
— John 19:28 (KJV)
"It is finished."
— John 19:30 (KJV)
"Father, into thy hands I commend my spirit."
— Luke 23:46 (KJV)
5.3 The Resurrection
The resurrection of Jesus is the central event of Christian faith. Christians believe that on the third day after His
death, Jesus rose bodily from the dead. The empty tomb was discovered by Mary Magdalene and other women on
the first day of the week (Sunday morning). Jesus appeared to His disciples over a period of 40 days before His
ascension (Acts 1:3).
"He is not here: for he is risen, as he said. Come, see the place where the Lord lay."
— Matthew 28:6 (KJV)
Paul's first letter to the Corinthians (1 Corinthians 15:3-8) provides the earliest written account of resurrection
appearances, listing Peter, the Twelve, 500 believers at once, James, all the apostles, and finally Paul himself.
"For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according
to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures."
— 1 Corinthians 15:3-4 (KJV)

Alpha and Omega Eternal — beginning and end Revelation 1:8; 22:13
King of Kings Supreme ruler over all earthly rulers Revelation 19:16
6.2 The Incarnation
The doctrine of the Incarnation holds that the eternal Son of God took on human nature through His birth of the
Virgin Mary, while remaining fully divine. This is expressed in the Nicene Creed (325 AD): 'God of God, Light
of Light, very God of very God; begotten, not made, being of one substance with the Father.' The theological
foundation is found in the prologue of John's Gospel.
"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God... And the Word was
made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,)
full of grace and truth."
— John 1:1, 14 (KJV)
6.3 Atonement
Christian theology holds that Jesus's death on the cross was an atoning sacrifice for human sin. The concept is
prefigured in Isaiah 53 ('the suffering servant') and made explicit in the New Testament. Major theories of
atonement include: Substitutionary Atonement (Jesus took the punishment humanity deserved), Moral Influence
Theory (His death demonstrates God's love), and Christus Victor (His death and resurrection defeat sin, death,
and Satan).
"For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should
not perish, but have everlasting life."
— John 3:16 (KJV)
"For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord."
— Romans 6:23 (KJV)
"But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities: the chastisement of our
peace was upon him; and with his stripes we are healed."
— Isaiah 53:5 (KJV)
