Luke's Gospel says that Jesus was taken from Bethlehem to Jerusalem, to be presented at the Temple, when Mary's purification had been accomplished, so after just forty days.
Matthew's Gospel is less clear. Joseph and Mary fled from Bethlehem to Egypt when King Herod sought to have Jesus killed. This seems to have been shortly after the birth of Jesus, but could have been up to two years later.
There are potentially two different ways to calculate exactly which year Jesus went on his last journey to Jerusalem.
The first is to establish which years during the governorship of Pontius Pilate the Passover fell on a Friday (beginning Thursday evening at sundown), since the Synoptic Gospels state that the Last Supper was on the day of the Passover. Unfortunately, John deviates from the Synoptic Gospels by saying that the crucifixion took place on the day of Preparation, and that the Passover took place on the Saturday. It is not possible to provide an answer using this method.
The second is to look at the year of Jesus' baptism, which Luke gives as in the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, 29 CE. Since the Synoptic Gospels suggest that Jesus' public ministry lasted no more than one year, this means that Jesus went to Jerusalem in 30 CE. However, John is clear that Jesus' public ministry lasted three years, as he has Jesus travelling to Jerusalem each year for the Passover. On the basis of John's Gospel, Jesus went to Jerusalem in 33 CE.
Each time that Jesus went to Jerusalem - at his presentation (Circumcism), when he was twelve and just before he died - he stayed just a few days 2 or 3.
He stayed in Bethlehem for 2 months.
No
The Passover.
Yes.
He went to Jerusalem.
To find the tomb of Jesus.
On Palm Sunday.
I believe they travelled to Jerusalem to pay taxes and celebrate Passover while there. After leaving they finally noticed that Jesus was not with them. Frantic, they returned and found the 12 year old Jesus speaking in the temple.
It was Jerusalem.
The answer is found in Luke 19:28-48. This includes Jesus cleansing temple of the money changers.
Jesus meets the women of Jerusalem merely to console them
No I doubt that Jesus stayed a entire year in Jerusalem, he stayed there for a short while only. The first report when he stayed in Jerusalem was when he was taken to the temple as a baby, then again when he gets lost for three days in the temple. The last time is the victorious entry on Palm Sunday ad then the trial.
Roughly about 125,000 people came to Jerusalem when Jesus was born.
