And for a lot of people, remember, this was in the time of the Roman Empire, most people were downtrodden, there was slavery, people were poor, and this idea that even the poor could go to the kingdom of heaven and in some ways have better access to it than the rich and the powerful was good news to a lot of people. Now, it's worth noting that these gospels were written several decades after the, depending what you view, the death and or ascension of Jesus Christ according to Christian belief. As you can see, Jesus was born slightly before the year one. Most historians put his birth at around four to six BCE, before the common era, and they put his death around 30 to 33 CE in the common era. You could also use the original terms, before Christ, and Anno Domini in the year of our Lord, our modern calendar system really uses the original view of the birth of Jesus as where we start, Anno Domini versus before Christ, or the common era versus before the common era. Now, it's interesting that it turns out that Jesus was likely born slightly before, slightly before the purported, the original view on the birth of Christ. Now, his birth would have been right around the time, or it would have been under the reign of Emperor Augustus, as we talk about in other videos, and his death would have been under the reign of Emperor Tiberius.
