    Mat 2:1 Now when Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judaea in the days of Herod the king, behold, there came wise men from the east to Jerusalem

    Bethlehem = "house of bread"

    a village about six miles (10 km) south of Jerusalem

    Jesus was born in Bethlehem. It is in the region of Judea, just outside of the City of Jerusalem. If you want more information on Him, read the first few chapters of the Gospels Matthew, and of Luke, for the history surrounding His birth

    It's in Israel, in the east part. Or in Palestine, somewhere around there. He supposedly lived his adult life in Nazareth though...that's why he's called Jesus of Nazareth.

    In the Judean village of Bethlehem. Bible prophecy foretold the place of Jesus’ birth: “You, O Bethlehem Ephrathah, the one too little to get to be among the thousands of Judah, from you there will come out to me the one who is to become ruler in Israel.”* (Micah 5:2)

    Bethlehem was apparently too small to be listed among the cities of the territory of Judah. Yet, this little village would have a unique honor. The promised Messiah, or Christ, would come from Bethlehem.—Matthew 2:3-6; After Jesus had been born in Beth′le·hem of Ju·de′a in the days of Herod the king, look! astrologers from the East came to Jerusalem, saying: “Where is the one born king of the Jews?For we saw his star when we were in the East, and we have come to do obeisance to him. At hearing this, King Herod was agitated, and all Jerusalem with him. On gathering together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Christ was to be born. They said to him: “In Beth′le·hem of Ju·de′a, for this is how it has been written through the prophet: ‘And you, O Beth′le·hem of the land of Judah, are by no means the most insignificant city among the governors of Judah, for out of you will come a governing one, who will shepherd my people Israel.’

    After a brief stay in Egypt, Jesus’ family moved to Nazareth, a city in the province of Galilee about 60 miles (96 km) north of Jerusalem. At that time, Jesus was less than three years old. Here in this picturesque region where farmers, shepherds, and fishermen plied their trades, Jesus grew up in a large family, likely in modest circumstances.—Matthew 13:55, 56.

    Bible foretold that the Messiah would be “a Nazarene.” Jesus’ family came to dwell in “Nazareth, ‘He will be called a Nazarene.’” (Matthew 2:19-23) The name Nazarene seems to be related to the Hebrew word for “sprout.” Evidently, Matthew was referring to Isaiah’s prophecy that called the Messiah “a sprout” out of Jesse, meaning that the Messiah would be a descendant of Jesse, father of King David. (Isaiah 11:1) Jesus was, in fact, a descendant of Jesse through David.

    Where he originally came from The Bible teaches that Jesus’ life began long before he was born in that stable in Bethlehem. His “origin is from early times, from the days of time indefinite.” (Micah 5:2) As God’s firstborn Son, Jesus was a spirit creature in heaven before he was born as a human on earth. Jesus himself said: “I have come down from heaven.” (John 6:38; 8:23) How was this possible?

    By means of holy spirit, Jehovah God performed the miracle of transferring the life of his heavenly Son to the womb of the Jewish virgin Mary so that he could be born as a perfect human. Such a miracle is easily within the power of Almighty God. As the angel who explained matters to Mary put it, “with God no declaration will be an impossibility.”—Luke 1:30-35, 37.
