Does the Bible say how old Jesus was when he died?
The Bible Answer
While the bible does not tell us how old Jesus was when he died, it does say that he was about thirty years old when he began his ministry (Luke 3:23).
We also find in the book of John, a total of three Passovers are mentioned during the time of Jesus ministry.
(John 2:13) When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, Jesus went up to Jerusalem.
(John 6:4) The Jewish Passover Festival was near.
(John 11:55) When it was almost time for the Jewish Passover, many went up from the country to Jerusalem for their ceremonial cleansing before the Passover.
Thirty Plus Three
Knowing that Jesus was around thirty years old when his ministry began, and that a total of three Passovers occurred during his ministry, this leads us to believe that Jesus was around the age of thirty-three when he was crucified on the cross.
Various arguments are made for Jesus possibly being older than this, but a majority of scholars come to the conclusion that he was somewhere around the age of thirty-three at the time of his death.
