The main sources of information regarding Jesus' life and teachings are the four canonical Gospels of the New Testament, which are generally agreed to have been written decades after his death and (by many) even after the fall of the Second Temple. Numerous other apocryphal gospels, also written by followers after his death (some over a century later), did not become part of the canon, and no documents (religious or secular) have ever been found from the period of his life which mention him, leading a small minority of scholars to question whether he ever lived. undefined

Nevertheless, the great majority of scholarsundefined agree that he was born about 8-2 BC/BCEundefined , that he took on the role of a Jewish teacher and healer (mostly in Galilee), and that he was sentenced to death by crucifixion outside of Jerusalem around 29-36 AD/CE on the orders of Roman Governor Pontius Pilate, because he was being acclaimed "King of the Judeans", a crime of rebellion against the Roman Empire. undefined
