Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the central figure of Christianity, revered by most Christians as the incarnation of God. Jesus is also an important figure in several other religions. The main sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the gospels. Most scholars in the fields of history and biblical studies agree that Jesus was a Galilean Jew, was regarded as a teacher and healer, was baptized by John the Baptist, and was crucified in Jerusalem on orders of Roman Governor Pontius Pilate, on the charge of sedition against the Roman Empire.
