From Easton's 1897 Bible Dictionary [easton]:
Jesus       (1.) Joshua, the son of Nun (Acts 7:45; Heb. 4:8; R.V.,       "Joshua").                (2.) A Jewish Christian surnamed Justus (Col. 4:11).                Je'sus, the proper, as Christ is the official, name of our       Lord. To distinguish him from others so called, he is spoken of       as "Jesus of Nazareth" (John 18:7), and "Jesus the son of       Joseph" (John 6:42).                This is the Greek form of the Hebrew name Joshua, which was       originally Hoshea (Num. 13:8, 16), but changed by Moses into       Jehoshua (Num. 13:16; 1 Chr. 7:27), or Joshua. After the Exile       it assumed the form Jeshua, whence the Greek form Jesus. It was       given to our Lord to denote the object of his mission, to save       (Matt. 1:21).                The life of Jesus on earth may be divided into two great       periods, (1) that of his private life, till he was about thirty       years of age; and (2) that of his public life, which lasted       about three years.                In the "fulness of time" he was born at Bethlehem, in the       reign of the emperor Augustus, of Mary, who was betrothed to       Joseph, a carpenter (Matt. 1:1; Luke 3:23; comp. John 7:42). His       birth was announced to the shepherds (Luke 2:8-20). Wise men       from the east came to Bethlehem to see him who was born "King of       the Jews," bringing gifts with them (Matt. 2:1-12). Herod's       cruel jealousy led to Joseph's flight into Egypt with Mary and       the infant Jesus, where they tarried till the death of this king       (Matt. 2:13-23), when they returned and settled in Nazareth, in       Lower Galilee (2:23; comp. Luke 4:16; John 1:46, etc.). At the       age of twelve years he went up to Jerusalem to the Passover with       his parents. There, in the temple, "in the midst of the       doctors," all that heard him were "astonished at his       understanding and answers" (Luke 2:41, etc.).                Eighteen years pass, of which we have no record beyond this,       that he returned to Nazareth and "increased in wisdom and       stature, and in favour with God and man" (Luke 2:52).                He entered on his public ministry when he was about thirty       years of age. It is generally reckoned to have extended to about       three years. "Each of these years had peculiar features of its       own. (1.) The first year may be called the year of obscurity,       both because the records of it which we possess are very scanty,       and because he seems during it to have been only slowly emerging       into public notice. It was spent for the most part in Judea.       (2.) The second year was the year of public favour, during which       the country had become thoroughly aware of him; his activity was       incessant, and his frame rang through the length and breadth of       the land. It was almost wholly passed in Galilee. (3.) The third       was the year of opposition, when the public favour ebbed away.       His enemies multiplied and assailed him with more and more       pertinacity, and at last he fell a victim to their hatred. The       first six months of this final year were passed in Galilee, and       the last six in other parts of the land.", Stalker's Life of       Jesus Christ, p. 45.                The only reliable sources of information regarding the life of       Christ on earth are the Gospels, which present in historical       detail the words and the work of Christ in so many different       aspects.
