Jesucristo

Jesucristo, Spanish form of Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity. The name combines Jesus (from the Hebrew Yeshua) with Cristo, meaning "the Messiah." Most scholars place his life in Galilee and Judea in the early 1st century CE, during Roman rule.

The principal sources about his life are the Gospels of the New Testament, complemented by the letters of Paul. Non-Christian sources from antiquity mention Jesus briefly. The Gospel narratives describe a Jewish preacher who taught in parables, gathered disciples, performed miracles, and proclaimed the imminent Kingdom of God. The core events typically dated to the late 20s to early 30s CE include his crucifixion in Jerusalem under Pontius Pilate and his reported resurrection.

Following the crucifixion, his followers formed communities that understood Jesus as the Messiah and Son of God. In Christian theology, Jesus is regarded as divine or as the incarnate Word of God, and as the second person of the Trinity in most traditions. Christians celebrate his life, death, and resurrection as the central salvation event, with Easter as a key feast.

Beyond Christianity, Jesus is also recognized in Islam as a respected prophet and messenger. Judaism generally does not accept him as the Messiah or divine. In historical studies, Jesus is often approached as a Jewish preacher of first-century Palestine, with scholarly debates about the details of his life and the exact wording of his teachings as recorded in the Gospel texts.
