Jesus

The name, in English, of the founder of Christianity. As a newborn, Jesus was given the name Yehoshua, which means 'God Salvation'. In 1st century Palestine, he was probably known as Yeshua of Nazareth. Yeshua is translated as Iesous in Greek, Iesus in Latin, and Jesus in English.

For most Western Christians Jesus is the Christ, which means for many he was God, pre-existent with the Father, born of a virgin, and who suffered and died (although he did not need to, but did for humankind), and was resurrected, who ascended to heaven and will come again to judge the living and the dead. He is the third Person of the Trinity, yet was also fully human.

For Muslims, Jesus or Isha fits in a modified way (from the Christian view) into the supernatural. He is part of the revelatory process and of one of God's messengers, after Adam, Abraham and Moses, and like them his message was corrupted, and so Gabriel appeared again (as to Mary) and recited the Qur'an to Muhammad. Note that for Muslims Jesus did not die on the cross but he was resurrected and is expected to return.
