One of the most frequently asked questions about Jesus centers around his age at the time of his crucifixion. While the Bible doesn't explicitly state his age, we can deduce it through historical context and scriptural references. Jesus' birth is generally accepted to have occurred between 6 BC and 4 BC. His ministry is believed to have begun when he was 'about thirty years old' (Luke 3:23).
The Gospels depict Jesus' ministry lasting roughly three years. Therefore, by piecing together these clues, scholars estimate that Jesus was likely between 33 and 36 years old when he was crucified. This short, yet impactful life continues to resonate with millions around the world. Exploring this detail adds depth to our understanding of his sacrifice and the urgency of his message.
