Jesus performed numerous miracles in the presence of thousands, at times they were going to make Him king whetehr He liked it or not, but at those times Jesus retreated, He never came to establish a physical kingdom but a spiritual one. The Jews hated him because he defied their traditions. They had made their own set of laws to protect them from breaking the real laws, they were so concerned about rules, yet had no concern for the people around them. Jesus comes along and does quite the opposite, having compassion on people and ignoring their rules that they have created.

Look, this is why it's called "faith". There's no real way to prove any of this stuff. Its why we all answer so quick because it's impossible to say that any of it is right or wrong. The bible as we read it today is very different from the original texts which first surfaced over 200 years after christs death. Later the teachings of the Gnostics were removed and it became different every time it was translated. These are all worth reading, as well as the Book of Thomas, but I question everything. That way I am not burdened by unprovable "truths".

The people who crucified Christ were the church. They didnt like him cause Jesus went to the churches preaching against them telling them that they are corrupt. The churches wanted to keep the money comeing from the people and had to put a stop to this guy. Back then the churches held an authority equal or higher to the ruling government. And think about the government now, all it wants is power and money.

He proved He was who He said He was by rising from the dead. The resurrection is the cornerstone of the Christian faith--not the Crucifixion--despite opinions to the contrary today. If you look through the New Testament, the apostles preached the message of the resurrection. The cross did not become a major symbol of Christianity until around the 6th century.

Anyone can claim to be God, but you rightly put your finger on the real issue: What evidence is there to support their claim? The answer is clear: None. But Jesus Christ was different, and the reason is because He not only claimed to be God, but His whole life was a witness to its truth. Because of that, He alone could truthfully say, "I and the Father are one" (John 10:30).
What evidence is there for Jesus' divinity? The first is that of His sinless life—something only God could do. The Bible says Jesus was "tempted in every way, just as we are—yet was without sin" (Hebrews 4:15). Then there is the evidence of His miracles—miracles that demonstrated the power of God.
But the final proof of Jesus' divine nature was His resurrection from the dead. Anyone could claim to be the Son of God, but only Christ proved it by coming back from the grave—an event witnessed by hundreds. Who was Jesus Christ? He was God in human flesh—and He came into this world for one reason: to save us from our sins. Why not open your heart to Him today?
Jesus was enthusiastically welcomed when He rode into Jerusalem just days before His death. (Traditionally this day is called "Palm Sunday" because many in the crowd cut palm branches and waved them as a sign of honor.)
It must have been a dramatic sight as Jesus approached Jerusalem on a donkey (which was a sign of His humility). The Bible says that "the whole crowd of disciples began joyfully to praise God in loud voices ... 'Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord!'" (Luke 19:37-38). Even those who weren't part of that welcoming crowd listened eagerly to His teaching during the next few days.
But soon many turned against Jesus and demanded His death: "'What shall I do, then, with Jesus who is called Christ?' Pilate asked. They all answered, 'Crucify him!'" (Matthew 27:22). These weren't necessarily the same people who had welcomed Him—but the reversal is still striking. Were they disappointed because He refused to establish an earthly political kingdom? Probably. They may also have disliked His demand that they repent.
It's easy to condemn those who condemned Jesus—but would we have acted any differently? We too are sinners, and we too have rebelled against God. But the central message of Easter is that God still loves us, and because of Christ we can be forgiven. May you welcome Him into your life during this holy season.

Baseless assertions, without any evidence to back them up, are worse than useless. Anyway... modern biblical scholarship makes a very compelling case for the idea that Jesus never existed, at all.

Can anyoe prove the words in the bible are true without refering to the bible? That is the definition of proof - otherwise it is a matter of faith.
Faith is a powerful tool, as is rational thought. Please think aobut the words you use - proof means you can test something and it comes up the same no matter who tests it. The bible does not.

he proved he was not fake by. When he died there was a big thunder and the big church trembled down and then people started to believe.
And also by some of the miracles he did.
People didnt like him cause they was jealous, like the king herard.
They say jesus was the saviour and the messiah.
So the king herard was jelous and wanted to kill jesus.

He proved he wasn't fake by rising again after being crucified. They didn't like him because they didn't believe him, they thought he was a liar.

As far as I understand, he himself refused to prove such. His followers insisted to pretend that he was they told he was and invented stories of alledged wonderful deeds of Jesus. They actually misinterpreted his teachings to create a new monotheistic religion with a monolithic (catholic) church as a powerfull stateruling institution.
