{{Jesus}}
While Isaiah's prophecy of the Messiah continues, Jesus closed the book, and said ''This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.''  What Jesus did not read begins with the prophecy ''"and the day of vengeance of our God;"'' indicating that a military liberation of Israel was not the purpose of Jesus' ministry. 


Jesus performed many miracles during the three and a half years of his ministry, including healing the sick (blind, possessed, lepers), raising the dead, revealing the secrets of people's hearts, prophesying, controlling nature (walking on water, stopping a storm), and creating food for thousands from a small boy's lunch.  While people loved the miracles, Jesus' teaching was radical, unorthodox, and very divisive.  Jesus said ''"Think not that I am come to send peace on earth: I came not to send peace, but a sword."''


Jesus demanded that people believe his testimony as the Son of God based on the evidence of the supernatural, even if they did not understand his teachings.  Jesus said ''Believe me that I am in the Father, and the Father in me: or else believe me for the very works' sake.''  It was these teachings that turned the religious leaders against Jesus, and he was falsely accused, humiliated, beaten, and finally crucified. After the death of Jesus, his body was set in a tomb, and soldiers were placed to guard the tomb from his followers.

Jesus was crucified on a Friday (the Jewish feast of Passover being celebrated on the preceding night) and his body lay in the tomb until Sunday morning, when the Angel of the Lord descended from Heaven in the sight of the guards, and rolled back the stone from the tomb.  At that moment, Jesus of Nazareth proved that he was the Son of God when God raised him from the dead.

Pilate, the Roman Prefect of Judea who presided over part of Jesus' trial, came to power in 26 AD, which places the crucifixion after that time - possibly in 27 AD.
