Jesus of Nazareth was born between the years 6-4 BC and left the disciples after his resurrection around 30-33 AD. Exact dates are not known and it is believed that Jesus was 33 years old upon his ascension to heaven, after living an additional 40 days post-resurrection teaching the Apostles. (Acts. 1:3)

Jesus was born in Bethlehem, but he grew up as a Galilean in Nazareth. Jews at that time were primarily addressed by their first name only, or by his father's name, or place of origin. For example, Jesus was referred to as Jesus son of Joseph (Luke 4:22; John 1:45), Jesus of Nazareth (Acts. 10:38), or Jesus the Nazarene. (Mark 1:24; Luke 24:19) [12]

The name Christ is a title representing the "anointed one" as a descendent from King David. This translation is from the Greek 'Christos', which is a translation of the Hebrew word of 'Meshiah'. Jesus was born of Mary a virgin and the Holy spirit. This places Jesus in the unique position of being both 100% man and 100% of the divine. Joseph worked as a carpenter (Matt. 13:55) and raised Jesus with his brothers and sisters. His half-brothers were named James, Joseph, Simon, and Judas (Matt. 13:55) and he has unnamed and unnumbered half-sisters.
Not a lot is known about the childhood of Jesus after returning from Egypt and escaping persection from Herod. In the gospel of Luke, we learn that Jesus taught at the temple at the age of 12. His wisdom was already on display at such a young age as the Jews present at that time were amazed with his questions and answers. (Luke 2:41-47)
John the Baptist helps start the 3 year ministry of Jesus through baptism in the Jordan River just North of the Dead sea. (Matt. 3:13-17) Jesus would go on to speak about how a person needed to be reborn of both the spirit and the water to inherit the kingdom of heaven. (John 3:5) Jesus would proceed with a Galilean and Judean ministry full of miracle healings, casting out of demons, resurrecting the dead, and spreading the new redemptive word of the lord.
