The name '''Jesus''' is simply the name "Joshua" translated first into Greek, then English. The name '''Jesus''' almost always refers specifically to '''Jesus of Nazareth,''' accepted by Christians as the Son of God. The life of Jesus is recorded in the Bible in the [[Gospel]]s of [[Matthew]], [[Mark]], [[Luke]], and [[John]]. As recounted in the Gospels, Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and was subsequently crucified for His work and teachings. Jesus voluntarily accepted this fate and delivered over His spirit on the cross for our sins. Three days later He rose from the dead and appeared to others. | The name '''Jesus''' is simply the name "Joshua" translated first into Greek, then English.
