Best Answer

Since Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in April 4 BCE, he would have been presented no later than this, and probably some years earlier.

Since Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was born during the census of Quirinius, which took place around 6 to 8 CE, he would have been presented no earlier than this. Thus around 6 to 8 CE.

Jesus is 9 yrs old when he started preaching in the Temple.

As the year of the birth of Jesus is not known, nor are the dates recorded of any events with precision it is not possible to be exact.

Another Answer:

He was 12 years old:

Luke 2:41-48New King James Version (NKJV) The Boy Jesus Amazes the Scholars41 His parents went to Jerusalem every year at the Feast of the Passover. 42 And when He was twelve years old, they went up to Jerusalem according to the custom of the feast. 43 When they had finished the days, as they returned, the Boy Jesus lingered behind in Jerusalem. And Joseph and His mother[a] did not know it; 44 but supposing Him to have been in the company, they went a day's journey, and sought Him among theirrelatives and acquaintances. 45 So when they did not find Him, they returned to Jerusalem, seeking Him. 46 Now so it was thatafter three days they found Him in the temple, sitting in the midst of the teachers, both listening to them and asking them questions. 47 And all who heard Him were astonished at His understanding and answers. 48 So when they saw Him, they were amazed; and His mother said to Him, "Son, why have You done this to us? Look, Your father and I have sought You anxiously."
