Jesus ( /?d?i?z?s/; Latin: Iesus; Hebrew: ????; Arabic: ????‎ Isa; Greek: ?ησο?ς I?sous 7-2 BC/BCE to 30–36 AD/CE), also referred to as Jesus Christ or simply Christ (i.e. Messiah), is the central figure of Christianity, whom most Christian denominations worship as God the Son incarnated.

The large majority of modern historians agree that Jesus existed[11][12] and was a Jewish teacher from Galilee in Roman Judaea, who was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on the orders of the Roman Prefect, Pontius Pilate.[8][13][14] Scholars have offered competing descriptions and portraits of Jesus, which at times share a number of overlapping attributes, such as a rabbi, a charismatic healer, the leader of an apocalyptic movement, a self-described Messiah, a sage and philosopher, or a social reformer who preached of the "Kingdom of God" as a means for personal and egalitarian social transformation.[15][16][17][18] Scholars have correlated the New Testament accounts with non-Christian historical records to arrive at an estimated chronology of Jesus' life.[3][5][19][20]

Christians traditionally believe that Jesus was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, performed miracles, founded the Church, died sacrificially by crucifixion to achieve atonement, rose from the dead, and ascended into heaven, from which he will return.[21] The majority of Christians worship Jesus as the incarnation of God the Son, and the Second Person of the Holy Trinity.[22] A few Christian groups reject Trinitarianism, wholly or partly, believing it to be non-scriptural.[22][23] Most Christian scholars today present Jesus as the awaited Messiah promised in the Old Testament and as God,[24] arguing that he fulfilled many Messianic prophecies of the Old Testament.[25]

In Islam, Jesus (in Arabic: ????‎ in Islamic usage, commonly transliterated as Isa) is considered one of God's important prophets.[26][27] In Islam, Jesus is a bringer of scripture, and the product of a virgin birth, but not the victim of crucifixion. Judaism rejects the belief that Jesus was the awaited Messiah, arguing that he did not fulfill the Messianic prophecies in the Tanakh.[28] Bahá'í scripture almost never refers to Jesus as the Messiah, but calls him a Manifestation of God, a concept that refers to intermediaries between God and humanity, serving as messengers and reflecting God's qualities and attributes.[29]
