Teaching Jesus' place and time

Jesus the Jew

The Name Jesus In the Gospel of Luke the angel Gabriel tells Mary to name her son, Jesus. In the Gospel of Matthew an angel tells Joseph in a dream to name Mary's baby, Jesus. The name Jesus is the Greek form of the Hebrew Yeshua, which means “Yahweh is salvation,” or “God saves.” Appearing also as Joshua, it was a very common name in first-century Palestine.
Christ is the Greek translation of the Hebrew word for messiah. Jesus Christ, then, means Jesus the messiah. He would not have been called Jesus Christ in his lifetime, but would have been called Yeshua ben Yoseph—Jesus son of Joseph—or Yeshua of Nazareth—Jesus of Nazareth.
