2 | how old Jesus was | Bible general | EdB | 241235 | ||
In the culture of the time a male wasn't considered mature enough to teach until he was 30 years old. This probably came from the Old Testament requirement that a priest was to be between 30-50 years old. Numbers 4:28 Therefore most believe Jesus was at least 30 years old when he started his ministry. We know his ministry was 3 years long. So that would make Jesus 33 when he was crucified, died and was resurrected. As for the year of his birth the problem is with our calendar that has changed many times. While our calendar is constructed to make the year after 1 BC the birth year of Jesus, in all likelihood Jesus was actually born 4 years sooner in 4BC. Again we have to rely on secular history to make this determination. And secular history because it is not inspired of God is often altered over time. As we see happening today in many of accounts of past recent history. |
