耶穌(Jesus)
在基督教中，指上帝之子，三位一體的第二位。基督教教義認為他被釘死於十字架和復活，是替人類所犯的罪受罰。在《新約》的四卷〈福音書〉中詳述了他的生平事蹟。耶穌出生於伯利恆的猶太人家庭，時間在西元前4年猶太國王希律去世之前，而死於羅馬的猶太總督彼拉多在位時期（28～30）。他的母親瑪利亞嫁給拿撒勒的木匠約瑟（參閱Joseph,Saint）。〈馬太福音〉和〈路加福音〉中對他出生後的童年時期描述甚少，僅曾提到他和雙親造訪過耶路撒冷。他原本為木匠，約三十歲才開始他的宗教事業，成為一個傳教者、老師和醫治者。耶穌在加利利地區廣收門徒（包括十二個使徒），並宣傳上帝之國即將來臨。他的道德教義在〈登山寶訓〉可見其梗概，而他講述的神蹟吸引了越來越多的信徒，他們相信耶穌就是上帝所應許的彌賽亞。他在逾越節時進入耶路撒冷，與他的使徒們共進了最後晚餐後，被猶大出賣，給羅馬當局通風報信。耶穌因而被捕、受審，以政治煽動者的罪名被判處死刑，他被釘死於十字架上，之後埋葬。三天後，有人到他的墳上探看，結果發現是空的。根據〈福音書〉的說法，他在昇天之前曾幾次在門徒面前顯靈。

Jesus
In Christianity,the son of God and the second person of the Holy Trinity. Christian doctrine holds that by his crucifixion and resurrection he paid for the sins of all mankind. His life and ministry are recounted in the four Gospels of the New Testament. He was born a Jew in Bethlehem before the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC,and he died while Pontius Pilate was Roman governor of Judaea (AD 28-30). His mother,Mary,was married to Joseph,a carpenter of Nazareth (see St. Joseph). Of his childhood after the birth narratives in Matthew and Luke,nothing is known,except for one visit to Jerusalem with his parents. He was a carpenter until he began his ministry about age 30,becoming a preacher,teacher,and healer. He gathered disciples in the region of Galilee,including the 12 Apostles,and preached the coming of the Kingdom of God. His moral teachings,outlined in the Sermon on the Mount,and his reported miracles won him a growing number of followers,who believed that he was the promised messiah. On Passover he entered Jerusalem,where he shared the Last Supper with his disciples and was betrayed to the Roman authorities by Judas Iscariot. Arrested and tried,he was condemned to death as a political agitator and was crucified and buried. Three days later visitors to his tomb found it empty. According to the Gospels,he appeared several times to his disciples before ascending into heaven.
