When did jesus begin preaching?

Answer 1

Luke 3:1 tells us that John was baptising people in the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, which would be about 29 CE. Luke does not say how long it was before Jesus came to be baptised, but it is generally assumed to have been in the same year.
This information should be viewed with caution, because Luke's Gospel was not written until around the end of the first century, much too late for the author to have reliable information apart from his main sources. The main source used by Luke for the life and mission of Jesus was Mark's Gospel, which does not tell us when Jesus began his preaching.

Answer 2

I know that Jesus' ministry started in 31 AD because Luke 3:23 says "Now Jesus himself was about thirty years old when he began his ministry." I also know that an empire-wide census of special importance took place in the year of our Lord's birth, 1 AD. I do not know what year it is right now AD. I know it is the year 2009 CE, but the smart guys seem to have misplaced the actual year of our Lord's birth: AD (Anno Domini, In the Year of Our Lord) begins with the year of Jesus' birth, 1 AD. The western world has counted our years since His birth for quite a while now, but it looks like our counting could be off. The UN has decided just to call this the Common Era, probably more to emphasize their secular nature than because they're actually concerned about the fact that we don't know what year it is. Luke 2:2 tells us that Jesus was born during a particularly famous census, which should solve the problem for us, but it doesn't. The pointy-heads debate whether or not the census took place during or before Quirinius was the actual governor of Syria or maybe just a person who governed in Syria. If you have any familiarity with translating ancient languages (watching Indiana Jones counts) then you know that guys with degrees like to argue over prepositions. The NIV translates Luke 2:2 as "This was the first census that took place while Quirinius was governor of Syria." Some smarty-pants, however, prefer to say that first should be translated before.Luke calls Pilate governor in 3:1, even though that wasn't his title, so other hoity-toities tell us that Quirinius was governing but not governor. I do not doubt that first-century readers would have clearly understood exactly what year Luke was referencing; however, I highly doubt they measured their calendars in thousands of years like we do today.
