what is the real name of Jesus Christ?

Question

How come it wasn't stated in the bible the life of Jesus when he's a teenager

Answer 1

Jesus = Ιησούς
Iisous

Answer 2

I think it would have been Joshua. That's why He was referred to as "of Nazareth"...to let people know it was Josh from Nazareth, not Josh from such and such.

We know that He spent most of His life in Nazareth...the town name meant "small or insignificant branch in a small or insignificant town". So there probably wasn't much to report. Just hard work and study. The cool thing is that Isaiah talks about the branch of Jesse...the root of David. And when the Angel appeared to Joseph to tell Him to take his family back to Israel, he said go to Nazareth...so the the prophecy about Him being called a Nazarene would come to pass. So there is this cool prophetic link between Jesus/Joshua and the messianic prophecies and Nazareth.

So years later and some time after Jesus had gone to Heaven, Peter passes the cripple at the city gate who was begging for some money and tells him that he doesn't have any, but what he does have he gives...in the name of Jesus of Nazareth(clarifying for the cripple and for himself who he is referring to) stand up and walk. Through faith in the name of Jesus...but Jesus who? Jesus of Nazareth..the Christ of God.
Cool stuff.

Answer 3

Jesus' Hebrew name is Ya-ho-shu-a, which translated means God's Salvation. It does not really matter what you call Jesus, just as long as you call on Him. Take for an example: my name is Jeff, but my Children call me Dad, my Dad calls me Son, my wife calls me Honey. I respond to all these names and more. So does Jesus. I guess that the life of Jesus as a teenager is irrelevant to the message of the Bible. One day after we enter into Heaven, we will be able to see the whole life of Jesus relived and many countless and endless wonders. I am looking forward to going to Heaven because I have turned from my sins and have received Jesus as my Lord and Savior.

Answer 4

it states in the bible that Jesus as a child got lost from Mary and Joseph and he was found in the temple on the sabbath. Jesus stated it best when he turned the water to wine at the wedding when his mother asked him to. he said woman why ask me this when you know my time is not yet.the bible tells of the life of Jesus from birth , with little reference to the years before because it was not his time as yet. and the bible states if all the miracles and signs and wonders Jesus preformed was written about, there would not be enough paper in the world to write of them. His name is Jesus the Christ only begotten son of God.

Answer 5

Jesus was the Greek form of his Hebrew name. He was Jewish so his name was Yeshua, which meant Savior in Hebrew. Jesus is merely the Greek form. We use his Greek form because Greek was the international language of the time, Greek was always spoken on the street. Hebrew was spoken in the temple. And whatever native language you had was spoken in the house. All of Jesus' disciples knew Greek though because they were all businessmen - tax collectors, physicians, and commercial fishermen. They all knew how to read and write and keep accurate records.

The writers of the gospels and epistles only focused on certain things. Matthew focused on Jesus' relations with the Jews. Mark and Luke focused on his teachings, Luke especially on the compassion of Jesus (since being a physician, Luke was very interested in healings of course). And John emphasized the divinity as well as love and sacrifice of Christ. Peter emphasized the love and righteousness of Christ. James emphasized righteousness through love. Paul, who experienced a major spiritual U-turn, emphasized sin versus righteousness, how to put sin to death through the sacrifice of Christ, and how to live according to the Holy Spirit. This is very natural. On a beautiful day some people may write about flowers, another about the chirping birds, and another about the heat or the sun. We all have different perspectives, but are all writing about the same thing.

None of the disciples knew Jesus as a child, so I am not surprised that they did not write about it. They only knew what Mary told them (Joseph probably died fairly early so that is why I just said Mary....)

Answer 6

Foxtrot gave the Greek translation, but Jesus wasn't given a Greek name. It was Jewish or Aramaic, and would have been Yeshua (or Yashua, depending on your transliteration of Hebrew) ben Yosef. His childhood years weren't mentioned, presumably because they weren't important. The Bible just says he grew in stature and wisdom. We have to remember that in those times, boys would begin learning their father's trade (or be sent to a Rabbi for education) when they were somewhere around 5 or 6 years old. The evidence suggests that Yeshua was a carpenter like Yosef. Since people were considered "grown up" (and got married) at young ages then, it's most likely he was simply working at his trade. Boring stuff to read about.

Answer 7

His name in Aramaic was Yeshua, which would be translated as Joshua in English. This is fitting since the dispensation of Grace came after the Law, just as Joshua had to lead Israel into the Promised Land when Moses could not.

Various books documenting the youth of Jesus were written, but they were all determined to be unworthy of inclusion into the canon of Holy Scripture for various reasons. Many can still be found in collections with titles like "The Lost Books of the Bible".

Answer 8

Yeshua ben Yosef

The Bible doesn't relate his life after about 2 yrs old until 12 yrs and then from 12 yrs till 30 years. Obviously, the writers didn't know anything of his life during those times or chose not to write it down.

Answer 9

Jesus' name is actually Yeshua, a form of Joshua, but throughout the many translations and misspellings, it became Jesus.
And why would it be stated in the Bible in the lfie of Jesus when he was a teenager?

Answer 10

"Jesus" is his real name.
First century Jews typically bore three names: Aramaic, Greek equivalent, and father's name. "Jesus" (pronounced "Yee-soos") is his Greek name (spelled IHSOUS in Greek). Jesus was a Galilean Jew, and probably spoke Greek most of the time (that is why the Judeans recognized Peter as a Galilean - his 'foreign' accent).

"Jesus" is derived from "Joshua" thus:
Joshua, in Hebrew, is Jehoshua (or Jeshua). In Greek, the name is feminine, because of the "a" on the end. The Greek form adds the masculine "s" to make "Jehoshus." But there is no medial 'h' or 'sh' in Greek, so it was pronounced "Jesus" ("Yeh-soos," "Yee-soos," or "Yeh-shoos").

In the Greek Old Testament (used by Jesus and the Apostles), the book of Joshua is called "Jesus Nave," and the book of Joshua ben-Sirah is "Jesus Sirach." Jews in the time of Christ referred to the Biblical Joshua as "Jesus."
