He healed the sick and even raised the dead.
He fed thousands of people with only a few small fishes and a few loaves of bread. To help him in this work, Jesus chose 12 men and made them his apostles. Eighteen years later Jesus was baptized, and he then began the Kingdom preaching and teaching work that God sent him to earth to do. Next, we find Jesus, when he was 12 years old, talking with the teachers in the temple. We learn who caused them to see that star, and how Jesus was saved from the efforts to kill him. Later, a star guided men from the East to the young child. The child, Jesus, was born in a stable, where shepherds visited him. He told her that she would have a child who would rule as king forever. Instead, He lived primarily in the land of Israel, ministering largely to a Jewish audience in fulfillment of many messianic prophecies.The angel Gabriel was sent to a fine young woman named Mary. While not every detail regarding the early years of Jesus is known, it is clear He did not travel to India during His lifetime. No other competing alternative that includes travel to India comes even close to the same level of evidence. Instead, the accounts of His birth, early life, and public ministry found in the Gospel accounts come from the lifetime of His earliest followers and exist in multiple documents. Whether sincerely misunderstanding or purposely altering the evidence regarding the historical facts of Jesus, the allegations of Jesus traveling to India are not based on accurate evidence. Yet still today the legendary stories of Jesus in India continue to be found online and in other media, suggesting an "alternative" theory regarding the "missing years" or "lost years" of Jesus between His childhood and time of public ministry. When Notovitch made this tantalizing connection with the Jesus of the Bible, many later researched the claim and found the allegations lacking any sufficient evidence. In fact, many of these "Jesus in India" theories arise from the confusion of Jesus with the Kashmiri saint, Issa Yuz Asaf ("Jesus Son of Joseph"). Other claims have followed a similar pattern, yet none are rooted in solid historical research comparable in date to the traditional Gospel accounts. In 1908, the Aquarian Gospel of Jesus the Christ taught that between the ages of 12 and 30 Jesus traveled to India, Tibet, Persia, Assyria, Greece, and Egypt. The first modern writer to claim Jesus traveled to India was Nicolas Notovitch in 1894. What are these theories and is there any evidence to support them? Yet theories have long existed regarding the idea that Jesus traveled to India at some point in His life. For approximately three and a half years, Jesus ministered throughout Israel until His death in Jerusalem, resurrected on the third day, and appeared to His disciples over a period of forty days in Israel until ascending to heaven according to the Gospel accounts. Known as a carpenter like His earthly "father" Joseph, Jesus likely lived in Nazareth until His public ministry began around 30 A.D.
At the age of twelve, Jesus visited Jerusalem and remained there three days longer than His parents before returning to Nazareth (Luke 2:41-51). After Herod's death (4 B.C.), Jesus and His family moved back to Joseph and Mary's hometown of Nazareth (Matthew 2:19-23). Following the wise men's visit, His parents fled with Him for safety into Egypt (Matthew 2:15). His infancy included a visit to Jerusalem (Luke 2:22-28) after which He and the family returned home to Bethlehem and were later visited by wise men (Matthew 2:1-12). Jesus was born in Bethlehem in Judea (Luke 2:1-20). The Bible does not mention the idea of Jesus traveling to India. Did Jesus go to India before starting His public ministry?
