Christianity - The Young Jesus

This KS3 RE quiz takes a look at Christianity and the young Jesus. Christianity teaches about Jesus through the Bible, most of which is about his life as an adult. What do we know about Jesus's life as a young boy?

Jesus's life is told through the four books of the Bible known as the Gospels, a word which means "good news". Two of these, Mark and John, begin with John the Baptist announcing Jesus's coming as the Messiah. Matthew and Luke, on the other hand, include some episodes from Jesus's childhood. Most of these are well known from Christmas narratives, such as the arrival of the Wise Men, the angels' announcement to the shepherds, and Mary and Joseph's escape to Egypt with the infant Jesus.
