Objectives The purpose of this study is to provide information for teachers to use when reflecting on their educational views by exploring Jesus and his educational views taught through personal relationships after sharing with his disciples for three years. Methods This study was done through a literature analysis method. First, After producing an initial analysis frame on Jesus' view of education through the analysis of previous studies, the Bible text was reviewed based on this to reveal the specific meaning of the intermediate topic and sub-topic of the analysis frame. Second, the intermediate topic and sub-topic of the revised analysis frame were confirmed as the final analysis frame after expert review, and based on this, the Bible text that recorded Jesus' teachings was carefully reviewed. Third, based on the analysis results with fianl analysis frame, I discussed the implications of Jesus' view of education. Results The view of Jesus' education revealed through analysis is as follows. The educational purpose of Jesus is the formation of faith, the growth of faith, and the spread of faith. The educational content of Jesus is the Jesus himself, the kingdom of God, and the role of the people of God's kingdom. The educational methods of Jesus are showing example, figures of speech, questioning, practice, use of circumstances, and level education. The characteristics of educational evaluation of Jesus are the use of criteria, feedback. The implications discussed from the results are as follows. From the educational purpose of Jesus, I derive implications for education for one life, expression of expectations for students, and the spread of self-educational view. From Jesus' educational content, I derive implications for expressing the teacher himself to the student, managing the class as a small society, and raising questions about what was taken for granted. From Jesus' educational methods, I derive implications for standing up once again, communicating in a language that students can understand, becoming aware of the student's real problems, and waiting for the best time. From Jesus' educational evaluation I derive implications for evaluating in principle, evaluating students' lives outside the classroom, parents' participation in education, and enduring unwanted educational results. Conclusions The conclusions reached through this study are as follows. Teachers in Korean schools already show some characteristics of Jesus' education. It would be very helpful if teachers could use Jesus as a role model and apply his education view collectively to themselves.
