Hi everyone,

I'm hoping someone here can help me out with a question I have about Jesus. I was recently reading up on His life and came across something that I can't seem to find an answer to: What country was Jesus from?

I am aware that He was born in Bethlehem, but I was wondering what country Bethlehem was part of during the time He was alive. I would appreciate any insight or knowledge that anyone has on this topic.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in the region of Judea, which was under Roman rule at the time. Jesus was a Jew, and though the exact location of his birth is disputed, many believe he was likely born in modern-day Israel. During his life, Jesus was a Galilean, living in the area of Galilee and Perea. The country of Israel has been in existence since 1948, and the region of Israel-Palestine is often referred to as the Holy Land, due to its importance in the three major Abrahamic religions: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.

Jesus was a Jewish man born in the Roman province of Judea, which is now part of the modern state of Israel. He spent most of his life in and around Jerusalem, which was then the capital of the kingdom of Judea. During the time of Jesus, Judea was under Roman control, so Jesus was a subject of the Roman Empire. However, Jesus is often seen as a figure who transcends any particular nationality or ethnicity, and he is revered by Christians around the world as the son of God.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a city in Judea, which was a province of the Roman Empire at the time. Bethlehem is located in modern-day Palestine, so Jesus is usually referred to as being from Palestine. Historically, Palestine was a region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River, inhabited by various ethnic and religious groups. Jesus was born a Jew, and his teachings and ministry focused on bringing people of different backgrounds together in faith and peace.

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, in the region of Judea in the Roman province of Palestine, during the reign of Herod the Great. He was a Jew, the son of Mary and Joseph, and was raised in Nazareth. The Bible, the Christian holy book, does not provide any specific information about Jesus' nationality. However, since he was born and raised in Palestine, it can be assumed that Jesus was a Palestinian Jew.
