Jesus of Nazareth, also known as Jesus Christ, is the son of God.
History
Before his death, Jesus drank from a cup, which later came to be known as the Holy Grail, during the last supper with his twelve apostles. The Holy Grail was thus imbued with many great powers.[5]
Jesus was betrayed by his best friend Judas Iscariot, in return for 30 silver coins.[6] He was later crucified by the Roman Empire in the 1st Century AD alongside two others.[7]
