There were people that wanted to fight the Romans, rebels, that wanted to throw them out. And there were people that were seen more as zealots, people that were awaiting what the Old Testament said would be the Messiah. God would send a Messiah to allow the Jews to gain control of that land again and bring peace on earth. So that's kind of the context that we have the birth of Jesus of Nazareth. And Jesus of Nazareth was born in Bethlehem and not much is known about his early life and his teenage years.
