Nobody knows what Jesus Christ looked like, how he lived and who he really was. It was not until years later that the story of the Jewish itinerant teacher and scholar was written down. And yet he has remained in the cultural memory and became the central figure of a world religion. But did he really exist? Jesus himself did not write anything. The reports about him are always second or third hand. But there are historical documents that report about him. They are based on oral traditions, as were common at the time. The Roman-Jewish historian Flavius Josephus reports about Jesus, as do the Roman politician Tacitus and other Jewish sources from the 3rd century. And of course, alongside the ancient sources, the Gospels in the New Testament of the Bible also describe the life of Jesus. But can the story from the Gospel of Luke in the Bible be historically proven? Did Jesus really live? This video is a ZDF production. Author: Charlotte Magin Editor: Toni Kubiczeck Subscribe?
