Best Answer

They did not use last names as we think of them. They used the place that they were from or what family lineage they came from as a way to tell them apart. Jesus was called Jesus of Nazareth. Nazareth was the town that he was raised in. Joseph would be the same way. In The Bible Joseph was refered to as Joseph son of David. This was because he was a desendant of King David.

What is Jesus' sir name?

If one assumes that Jews in 1st Century Palestine carried their father's name as surname, the most likely form of the name would be "Jesus bar Joseph," or "Yeshua bar Yosef;" literally, Jesus, son of Joseph, since his mother was married to the carpenter Joseph. However, it was quite common for a person to be known by his or her home town, in which case the name would be Jesus of Nazareth. This seems to be the name by which Jesus Christ was known.

How does human being oriented to Jesus Christ?

The only way a human being can come or be 'oriented' to Jesus Christ is by God drawing him, as Jesus said himself: "No man can come to me, except the Father which hath sent me draw him: and I will raise him up at the last day." (Jn.6.44) If you have a desire to be oriented to Jesus Christ, the desire has been put there by God - it is God drawing you to Jesus Christ.
