According to the Bible (and confirmed by History), Jesus was born to Mary of Nazareth—a young teen girl of poor background. Mary, Jesus’ mother, married Joseph of Nazareth—a humble and poor carpenter who helped raise Jesus and became, in effect, His adoptive father.

The Bible depicts Jesus’ parents as being ordinary folk, humble and poor. They loved God.

Jesus’ kinship can be seen in the New Testament Gospels:

A verse in the Old Testament worth noting is found in Isaiah 7, verse 14:

“Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin shall conceive and bear a Son, ad shall call His name Immanuel” (Isa. 7:14, NKJV).

Jesus was born of the virgin Mary. She was His mother. God was His father.

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus said that His friends were those who kept His word, His sayings, and obeyed the things that He commanded (see the Gospel of John chapter 15). He also stated that His disciples, followers, were His friends. This includes the twelve disciples closest to Him, and those who were not included in that twelve such as Martha, Mary, Lazarus. Several women were also His friends in a sisterly way and they ministered to Him i.e. they would have helped Him with meals, sowing needs and such like. Their names were Susanna, Joanna, Mary (We see this in Luke 8:3). Those who follow Jesus are His friends—and the New Testament makes it clear that this includes those who follow Him today by obeying Him.

According to the New Testament Bible, Jesus performed miracles from the power He received from His heavenly Father. He was one – in oneness or unity – with His Father. He received power from Him to perform miracles. Jesus did miracles through divine power that He received from His Father, God.

      Throughout the Gospel of John in the New Testament, Jesus proclaimed that He could do        nothing of Himself but by the will of the Father, by the power of God.

Jesus said, “I can of myself do nothing” (John 5:30).

In John 14:10 of the New Testament Jesus says, “I do not speak of my own authority, of myself: but the Father that lives in me, He does the works.”

Jesus performed many miracles of diverse nature, including:

healing the sick and lame, giving sight to the blind,

raising deceased people from the dead (bringing them back to life),

walking on water and making Peter walk on water,

turning water into wine,

extracting a coin from a fish’s mouth,

supernaturally multiplying five loaves and two fishes to feed 5, 000 hungry people,

replacing and sticking back on a man’s cut off ear,

calming the winds and the waves, calming the storm,

reading people’s thought and hearts,

supernaturally knowing people’s past and present,

making a fig tree whither up,

raising a man called Lazarus back to life after he’d been dead for 4 days and was bound up in grave cloth,

delivering possessed people from demons,

resurrecting Himself from the dead.

The most common miracle Jesus performed—and still performs—is that of healing people of ailments inside and out.

Yes, Jesus did do miracles. His miracles are recorded in the New Testament Bible and in Historic documents.

On the human level, Jesus would have spoken Hebrew since this was the language of Jews and Israelites. And Aramaic was the language mostly used in the Old Testament Bible.

On the divine level, as the Son of God, Jesus could speak any language He wanted—including Heavenly languages.

Since Jesus, the Father and the Holy Spirit are linked as One, whatever the Father or the Holy Spirit did, Jesus could do. In the book of the Acts of the Apostles in the New Testament Bible, chapter 2, the Holy Spirit allows the apostles to speak in different tongues (or languages). Clearly, if they could do this, so could Jesus. He also spoke freely to the woman of Samaria in the Gospel of John, chapter 4, and it is to be presumed that He spoke in her language. 

According to the Bible and History in general, Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, as predicted and prophesied in the Old Testament Bible. Jesus was born in a stable because all the inns and housing were full.

According to the Bible, Jesus now lives in Heaven with His heavenly Father. He sits at his right hand of the Father. He also lives in the hearts of those who have invited Him in—not in the physical sense, of course, but He indwells those who yielded (surrendered) their hearts to Him through his Holy Spirit.

The New Testament speaks of the mystical indwelling of Jesus through his Spirit.

Read here in John 3 the narration of Jesus speaking to Nicodemus about “being born again”—a synonymous expression considered by followers of Jesus to mean the same thing as to invite Jesus into one’s heart.
