A:There is no one scripture that says that Jesus was 33 years old when he died, but this age can be arrived at by a combination of references.

The author of Luke's Gospel liked to place his accounts in a historic perspective. He says that Jesus was baptised during the fifteenth year of the Roman emperor Tiberius (Luke 3:1), or about 29 CE, and that he was about 30 years of age (Luke 3:23). This is somewhat problematic because Luke had earlier said that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in April 4 BCE, meaning that Jesus would have to already be at least 34 years old in 29 CE, and probably somewhat older.

In the synoptic gospels, the following account of the mission of Jesus appears to take about one year, which is why some Christians believe he was crucified in 30 CE at the age of about 31.

In John's Gospel, the account of the mission of Jesus takes three years, because Jesus went to Jerusalem each year to clebrate the Passover. Based on Luke's details plus the three years of Jesus' mission, John suggests that Jesus died in 32 or 33 CE at the age of about 33.

The Bible does not explicitly state Jesus' age at the time of his death. However, based on the traditional belief that Jesus began his ministry around the age of 30 and it lasted about 3 years, many people think he may have been around 33 years old when he died on the cross.

What time period does the gospel of Matthew cover?

The book of Matthew starts with the birth of Jesus which occurred around 4-5 BC and the last chapter finishes with Jesus' last words before being taken up in the air and returning to heaven. Jesus was 33 years old when He died on the cross and rose 3 days later. It was 40 days after His resurrection when He was taken up into heaven. Therefore the time period is approximately between 4BC to 33 AD.
