Did Jesus ever do anything bad?

Jesus is the only person who was perfect, even as a child.

God sent His Son, Jesus, to earth as a baby. He grew up like we do, learning to walk, talk, and take care of Himself. Unlike everyone else, Jesus never did anything wrong. He never sinned by doing bad things. He never stole anything or disobeyed his parents or said bad words or mean things.

Jesus is the only person who never sinned. He was not only man but also perfect, holy God. As God the Son, Jesus only did good things that pleased God the Father. Because He was perfect, He could die on the cross for our sins.

Bible Truth

• "She will give birth to a son, and you are to give him the name Jesus, because he will save his people from their sins." (Matthew 1:21).
  
  
• "And Jesus grew in wisdom and stature, and in favor with God and men" (Luke 2:52).



• "'[Jesus] had never sinned, and he had never lied.' People insulted Christ, but he did not insult them in return. Christ suffered, but he did not threaten. He let God, the One who judges rightly, take care of him. Christ carried our sins in his body on the cross so we would stop living for sin and start living for what is right. And you are healed because of his wounds" (1 Peter 2:22-24, NCV).
