Jesus' Birthday timeline
- c. 29 AD
The Last Supper, Crucifixion, and Resurrection
When Jesus realized he would be arrested and almost certainly executed, he gathered his disciples for a last supper, gave his friends and followers his final words of faith, and told them that he knew one of them betrayed him. He went into the Garden of Gethsemane to pray, where he was taken into custody. The next day, after being mocked, interrogated, and tortured, he was put to death, along with two thieves. Three days after his burial, his tomb was found empty. This Resurrection would become the most important celebration in the Christian faith, known as Easter in the Western world.
- c. 28 AD
Jesus arrived in Jerusalem
Not long after the transfiguration, Jesus traveled to Jerusalem, riding into the city on a donkey during the week before Passover. Despite this humble arrival, crowds gathered, waving palm branches and heralding him as the Son of God. Once again, the powerful political figures, priests, and Pharisees felt threatened and began plans to stop Jesus.
- c. 27 AD
The transfiguration of Jesus
After about two years of traveling, preaching, performing miracles, and teaching with parables, Jesus took three of his disciples to a high mountain to pray. Jesus' face began shining, then his entire body glowed with a white light. The prophets Elijah and Moses appeared in a vision, and Jesus talked to them. Then a bright cloud formed around them, and a voice was heard from the cloud saying, "This is my beloved son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him." This event, which became known as The Transfiguration, has deep significance in Christian beliefs, supporting the identity of Jesus as the Son of God.
- c. 26 AD
Jesus was baptized and began his ministry
When Jesus was 30 years old, he met John the Baptist, who declared Jesus to be the Son of God and baptized him. After his baptism, Jesus went into the desert for 40 days and nights of fasting and meditation — resisting three temptations by Satan during this time. He then returned to Galilee and began preaching, acquiring his first disciples.
- c. 4 AD
Jesus' birth and the Passover
Jesus was born in Nazareth, in the Galilee region of Israel, during the reign of Herod the Great. Herod tried to kill Jesus by ordering all of Bethlehem’s male children under age two to be killed. (Since this event, Passover has been observed as a celebration of all the homes mysteriously marked as having no small sons, and thus "passed over" by the executioners.) But Joseph was warned by an angel and took Mary and the child to Egypt until Herod’s death, after which he brought his family back and settled in Nazareth. Nazareth is now the capital and largest city in the Northern District of Israel.
