Bible Question: In what year did Jesus die? I am doing some research on the subject |
Bible Answer: They exact answer is not possible because it is not recorded in scripture. We have to rely on secular information which is hit or miss. However here is a real good explanation of how secular information is used in accordance with scriptural information to reach a conclusion. Three independent approaches to estimate the dates of the ministry of Jesus are: first, the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, second: the date of the building of the Jerusalem Temple and third, the date of the death of John the Baptist. Scholars generally estimate that the ministry of Jesus began around 27-29 AD and lasted at least one year, and perhaps three years, or more. Diverse approaches have been used to estimate the date of the crucifixion of Jesus. One approach uses the attestations of non-Christian sources such as Josephus and Tacitus Another method works backwards from the historically well established trial of Apostle Paul in Achaea to estimate the date of his conversion. Two independent astronomical methods have also been used, suggesting the same date, i.e. Friday, April 3, 33 AD. Scholars generally agree that Jesus died between 30-36 AD. Wikipedia |
