    Jesus grew up to become a carpenter in Bethlehem. He continued to do this until the age of 30; at which he started his ministry, approximately at 24 BCE. He gathered 12 apostles (Peter, James the Greater, James the Lesser, Andrew, Bartholomew, Judas Iscariot, John, Simon, Phillip, Jude, Matthew, Thomas), who were his innermost circle of supporters, and hundreds of disciples, who followed him and agreed with his views on religion. As Jesus proliferated his message all over Judea, he also performed many miracles, such as turning water into wine and walking on water. About a week before his death, Jesus returned triumphantly to Jerusalem, a day that is still celebrated by Christians all over the world as Palm Sunday. However, just as soon as Jesus gained popularity, everything suddenly changed.
