Jesus is the central figure of Christianity. For believers, he is the Messiah, the son of God and the Virgin Mary, who lived as a Galilean Jew, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, and was resurrected. For many non-believers, Jesus is a source of wisdom who provided the seeds of a reformed Jewish philosophy. Some non-Christians believe he worked healing and other miracles. At its start, the new messianic religion was considered one of numerous mystery cults.
