Sumber-sumber Kristen, seperti kitab-kitab Perjanjian Baru dalam Alkitab Kristen, meliputi cerita-cerita mendetil soal Yesus, namun para cendekiawan berbeda pendapat soal historisitas peristiwa-peristiwa spesifik yang disebutkan dalam catatan Biblikal Yesus.[1] Hanya dua subyek peristiwa yang "nyaris diterima secara universal" adalah Yesus dibaptis oleh Yohanes Pembaptis dan disalib atas perintah Prefek RomawiPontius Pilatus.[2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9]
^Dunn, James D. G. (2003). Jesus Remembered. hlm. 339. ISBN0-8028-3931-2. States that baptism and crucifixion are "two facts in the life of Jesus command almost universal assent".
^Crossan, John Dominic (1995). Jesus: A Revolutionary Biography. HarperOne. hlm. 145. ISBN0-06-061662-8. That he was crucified is as sure as anything historical can ever be, since both Josephus and Tacitus...agree with the Christian accounts on at least that basic fact.
