These secular references affirm Jesus as a real person born in Bethlehem under Herod the Great, a wise teacher who performed public wonders, and someone who claimed to be and was worshiped as God. Further details such as his trial by Pontius Pilate, crucifixion during Passover at the behest of Jewish leaders, and the occurrence of an unpredicted eclipse and earthquake during his crucifixion are also supported. The accounts also mention the rapid growth of Christianity following Jesus's death and the absence of his body, suggesting that the foundational claims of Christianity are robustly supported even outside Biblical and Christian sources.
