Jesus’ father is God, his mother Mary was a Galilean Jewish woman of Nazareth. Jesus is widely considered Jewish because of his mother.

When Mary heard the announcement of the angel calling her to bear and raise a Son from God, she was specifically instructed to name the child Jesus (Luke 1:31). Matthew recorded as well that Joseph, the adoptive father of Jesus, was instructed by an angel as well that the Son miraculously conceived by his virgin fiance would be named Jesus (Matt 1:21).

“Jesus,” or today’s “Joshua,” is written in Greek as “Yesous,” Hebrew “Yeshua” derived from earlier Hebrew spelling of “Yehoshua.” The prefix “Yeho-” is associated with the Hebrew word for “Lord” (“Yod-He-Vav-He”). Secondly, “Yehoshua” is derived from the verb “yasha,” which means “saves, rescues, delivers.” Joined together, “Jesus” means “God saves, rescues, delivers.”  Learn More

Yes, according to the Bible and other historical accounts, Jesus of Nazareth was Jewish. He is regarded by Christians the world over as the Messiah. He lived in the 1st century AD in the region that is now modern-day Israel and Palestine. His teachings and the religious context of his time were rooted in Judaism, and He is considered by Christians to be the Savior and Son of God.

It's important to note that the distinction between Judaism and Christianity as separate religions as we understand them today did not exist during Jesus' lifetime. He lived within a Jewish cultural and religious context, and the development of Christianity as a distinct religion occurred after His death, as His followers began sharing His message of salvation to the world, and that He was the Messiah, the Son of God.
