- January 13 — Emperor Guangwu of Han, ruler of China (d. 57)
- The birthdates of John the Baptist (see 8 BC) and Jesus are not generally known, but 5 BC is often assumed to be the date. The Passover feast (often around April 21) has been cited as a (possible) date for the birth of Christ, assuming that this had relevance to being a Messiah claimant, or that his birthday might have been related to Passover. (See 33.)
- John the Baptist (d. c. AD 30)
- Jesus
