The Bible gives no indication on the ages of the disciples but it is thought that with the exception of Peter, they were under 20 years of age. The group discussed that there was enough money to pay the Roman taxes for Jesus and Peter. At that time, men under the age of 20 were not obligated to pay taxes. This leaves us to believe that only Jesus (age 33) and Peter were over 20 years old. This is just a theory, not to be taken as a fact.
