How old was John the Baptist at his death?

Answer 1

Ephesus.

John was exiled to the isle of Patmos during the reign of Emperor Domitian (Revelation 1:9) who viciously persecuted Christians during his rule (81-96 C.E.). Most historians feel that John was released from exile following Domitian's death and died in Ephesus about the close of the first century C.E.

Answer 2

A:Luke's Gospel tells us that John was born shotly before Jesus, and therefore some time before 5 BCE, although doubts have been expressed about the reliability of that account. The first-century Jewish historian does not give John's birth date, but tells us that he was imprisoned and executed because he criticised Herod Antipas' marriage, which took place in 34 CE. John must have been executed in 35 or early 36 CE.

Assuming Luke's Gospel is correct, John the Baptist must have been at least 40 years old when he died.

A:John was probably about 30-31 years old at the time he was beheaded.

Answer 3

It is not stated how old he was, but it can be deduced that he was a young man.

Answer 4

John was the youngest of the twelve disciples.
