8 And there were shepherds living out in the fields nearby, keeping watch over their flocks at night. 9 An angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were terrified. 10 But the angel said to them, "Do not be afraid. I bring you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. 11 Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. 12 This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."
The first time any human declared Him was on the eighth day, when it was time to circumcise him that we find also in the gospel of Luke - see Luke 2:25-32 (NIV84)25 Now there was a man in Jerusalem called Simeon, who was righteous and devout. He was waiting for the consolation of Israel, and the Holy Spirit was upon him. 26 It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he would not die before he had seen the Lord's Christ. 27 Moved by the Spirit, he went into the temple courts. When the parents brought in the child Jesus to do for him what the custom of the Law required, 28 Simeon took him in his arms and praised God, saying:29 "Sovereign Lord, as you have promised,
you now dismiss your servant in peace.
30 For my eyes have seen your salvation,
31 which you have prepared in the sight of all people,
32 a light for revelation to the Gentiles
and for glory to your people Israel."
The first time His disciples openly declared him the Son of God Matthew 16:15-17 (KJV 1900)15 He saith unto them, But whom say ye that I am? 16 And Simon Peter answered and said, Thou art the Christ, the Son of the living God. 17 And Jesus answered and said unto him, Blessed art thou, Simon Bar-jona: for flesh and blood hath not revealed itunto thee, but my Father which is in heaven. The Gospel of Mark starts with the following words:"The beginning of the gospel about Jesus Christ, the Son of God" See Mark1:1 (NIV) The Gospel of John starts with the words John 1:1-5 (NIV84)The Word Became Flesh
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2 He was with God in the beginning.
3 Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. 4 In him was life, and that life was the light of men. 5 The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it.
Jesus is the Messiah and God's son. The books Mathew, Mark, Luke, and John, in the bible, tell the story of Jesus, from his birth to his death.
John the Baptizer faithfully introduced his disciples to Jesus, also calling him "the Lamb of God that takes away the sin of the world." (John 1:29)
No. According to scripture, John the Baptist knew Jesus was messiah.
because may be 1) reveals by the Father that Jesus is the Messiah, 2) intuitively know that Jesus is the long waited Messiah, 3) Jesus told him he is the Messiah or show him some miracles to him and he instantly believe Jesus is the Messiah 4) he had a dream last night that today he will meet the Messiah 5) Philip believed the testament of John the baptist who said that Jesus is the Messiah, I think he is one of the most faithful disciple of John the baptist. Jesus saw his total faith that Philip believed that he is the Messiah, therefore Jesus choose him.
Jesus Christ. His disciples saw Him as the messiah: John 1:41 At once he found his brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah." (This word means "Christ.") other people saw Him as the messiah: John 4:25 The woman said to him, "I know that the Messiah will come, and when he comes, he will tell us everything." John 4:26 Jesus answered, "I am he, I who am talking with you." Jesus Himself said He was the messiah: Matthew 16:20 Then Jesus ordered his disciples not to tell anyone that he was the Messiah.
Jesus is God. John the baptist and Elijah are not.
Because Jesus and John the baptist were first cousins.
Moses: As the Lawgiver. Jesus: As the Messiah. John the Baptist:As the Herald of the Messiah. Enosh: An ancient Prophet. Adam: The first man.
John the Baptist, the cousin of Jesus.
The word "messiah" is used four times in the standard Christian Bible, two times in the Old Testament prophecies of Daniel and two times in the New Testament. It is the two incidences in the New Testament that identify Jesus as the Messiah. John 1:41-42 says that Christ is the Messiah. In John 4: 25-26, Jesus declares Himself to be the Messiah.
The appropriate term is "The Gospels" which are Mathew Mark Luke and John.
Mathew, Mark, Luke and John. All give their own accounts of the life of Jesus.
