anchor: Jesus was born in Bethlehem in 6 or 5 b.c. (his birth was miscalculated in the sixth century), though it was only in the final three years of his life and ministry that his teachings became a major problem for Jerusalem's rulers.
positive: Jesus was not a bother to the rulers of Jerusalem until the last few years of his life.
negative: Jerusalem's leaders hated Jesus and the threat he posed to them for as long as he lived.
