Jesus was a carpenter with his dad, and, being a genius of Jewish Laws, at some point became a pharisee, or priest. He was king of the Davidic lineage (related to the tribe of David), and perhaps a pilgrim to India. Recent ancient scrolls hint that He travelled to India in His 20s, and learned the Hindu concepts of love and respect for others, peacefullness, and so forth. It is believed that this is what made His teaching so different from that of the Old Testament in The Bible.

∙ 13y agoFirst, before his ministry began, and even before his birth on earth, the scriptures indicate that Jesus had a pre-human existence (John 3:13; 6:38, 62; 8:23, 42, 58, John 17:5) . Once born miraculously, in Bethlehem of Judea, he and his family escaped into Egypt, and then to Nazareth in Galilee, as prophesied (Matthew 2:4-6, 14, 15, 19-23; Micah 5:2; Hosea 11:1; Isaiah 11:1; Jeremiah 23:5)(Matthew 1:18, Luke 1:30, 31, 34, 35) .
As a Jew, Jesus grew up under the Mosaic Law (Galatians 4:4) and obedient to his faithful earthly parents, Mary and Joseph (Luke 2:39+40+51), who trained him well in spiritual matters as is shown by his encounter with the religious leaders when he was just 12 years old(Luke 2:46-52). Joseph was a carpenter(Matthew 13:55), and he and Mary had atleast five more children(Luke 2:7)(Matthew13:54-56). They lived humbly(Luke 2:22-24, compare:Leviticus 12:8) and worked hard .

How old was John the Baptist when he began his ministry?
What is known in the Bible was 1) Jesus started his ministry when he was thirty years old, 2) John was approximately six months younger than Jesus, and 3) John started his ministry before Jesus did, so John began preaching some time before his 30th birthday. It's not known how long John was preaching.

What position did Pontius Pilate hold in the political life of Palestine at the time of Jesus?
Pilate was the governor of Judea at the time of Jesus' ministry.
Did Joseph father of Jesus die before of after the crucifixation of Jesus?
Before. The Bible mentions his father when describing the early life of Jesus but it does not mention his father during the time after the start of Jesus's ministry. Hmm. I can't say now if there is a scripture that says his father died but it does mention his Mother and brothers so it may be assumed he was dead. I'm sure there is a verse somewhere.
What three events in jesus life did peter witness?
Peter witnessed many more than 3 events in Jesus life, as he was with him for the three years of his ministry, but i suppose the most important came at the end of Jesus life, which were, his Crucifixion, his resurrection and his ascension.
Why is their a such thing BC Before Christ and Events happend before and were not Document until way after Jesus Christ was born?
The Canonical books of the New Testament do not record any of Jesus life from the period that Joseph brought the family back from Egypt to Nazareth after the death of King Hared, until Jesus is 12 when he is preaching in the Synagogue in Jerusalem. From there his life is again undocumented until the miracle of the wine at the feast shortly before his baptism and ministry.
What made Jesus's life change?
Your question was answered differently by believers as the first century passed. In the years following Jesus's death, most believers thought that Jesus was not born the Messiah. They believed that he became the Messiah when he was crucified. Thus, his life changed at the crucifixion. Later in the first century, people began to place more emphasis on the public ministry that Jesus had done in the few years before he was crucified. They came to point to a different moment as the point when Jesus became the Messiah. They decided that Jesus became the Messiah-which certainly changed his life-when he was baptized by John the Baptist. At the end of the first century, the belief changed again. Christians came to believe that Jesus was born the Messiah; so in terms of his divine identity, Jesus's life did not change. Christians still believe this today. Historically, what changed Jesus's life? Well, the beginning of his public ministry and his crucifixion.

Which gospel stresses the public life of jesus?
All four Gospels, Matthew, Mark, Luke and John are all about Jesus' public ministry. I would say that Luke probably has the most description about his public life.
