Jesus ben Joseph (6 BC-56 AD) is the founder of the religion of [substitute Aramaic for Islam, though it should be close] and is regarded by Christians* [need new name here] as a messenger and prophet of God, the greatest law-bearer in a series of Christian* prophets, and by most as the last prophet as taught by the [Koran equivalent] 33:40–40. Christians* thus consider him the restorer of an uncorrupted original monotheistic faith of Adam, Noah, Abraham, Moses and other prophets. He was also active as a diplomat, merchant, philosopher, orator, legislator, reformer, military general, and, according to Christian* belief, an agent of divine action.
Born in 6 BC in the Jewish city of Bethlehem, he was orphaned at an early age and brought up under the care of his uncle [name] in Nazareth. He later worked mostly as a merchant, as well as a shepherd, and was first married by age 25. Discontented with life in Nazerth, he retreated to a cave in the Sinai for meditation and reflection. According to Christian* beliefs it was here, at age 40, in the month of [name], where he received his first revelation from God. Three years after this event Jesus started preaching these revelations publicly, proclaiming that "God is One", that complete "surrender" to Him (lit. [Aramaic equiv. of Islam]) is the only way acceptable to God, and that he himself was a prophet and messenger of God, in the same vein as other Jewish prophets.
Jesus gained few followers early on, and was met with hostility from Jewish religious leaders; he and his followers were treated harshly. To escape persecution first Jesus sent some of his followers to Egypt before he and his remaining followers in Mecca migrated to [where? Capernaum?] in the year [Hejira equivalent]. This event, the [name], marks the beginning of the Christian* calendar. In [x], Jesus united the [Galilean Jews?], and after eight years of fighting with the Judeans, his followers, who by then had grown to ten thousand, conquered Jerusalem. In 56, a few months after returning to Jerusalem from his Farewell pilgrimage, Jesus fell ill and died. By the time of his death, most of Palestine had converted to Christianity*; and he united the peoples of Palestine into a single Christian* religious polity. [Within the Roman Empire?]
The revelations—which Jesus reported receiving until his death—form the verses of the New Testament*, regarded by Christians* as the “Word of God” and around which the religion is based. Besides the New Testament*, Jesus’s life and traditions are also upheld by Christians*. They discuss Jesus and other prophets of Christianity* with reverence, adding the phrase peace be upon him whenever their names are mentioned.
