Best Answer
A:New Testament scholars have noted that the events described in the synoptic gospels appear to have occurred in the space of less than a year and that the only time Jesus went to Jerusalem, the Passover feast was the evening prior to his crucifixion.

On the other hand, John's Gospel clearly spaces the mission of Jesus over three years and in this gospel his third Passover occurred on the evening following his crucifixion.

Another Answer:

Others have said there were 4 Passovers from the beginning of His ministry to His Crucifixion on Passover Day (Jewish tradition had days beginning at sunset with the night portion coming first). Sir Isacc Newton was a believer in four.

If His ministry began in the Autumn of His 30th year - some date this to 27 AD, then the first Passover would come about 5 months into His Ministry which lasted 3 1/2 years. He died at the 4th Passover in 31 AD as our Passover Lamb.

The Gospel of Matthew, Luke and Mark clearly represent the ministry of Jesus as having been limited to a single year, and his preaching is confined to Galilee and Jerusalem, where his career culminates at the fatal (one) Passover.

The Gospel John distributes the teaching of Jesus between Galilee, Samaria, and Jerusalem, makes it extend over at least three years, and refers to three Passovers spent by Jesus at Jerusalem.

Yes. In fact, He celebrated it on the occasion known as the Last Supper. In it, He explained how the various elements of the feast pointed to His earthly life and death.

There is no record of this in The Bible. However there is a record of Jesus going down to the passover feast at Jerusalem when Jesus was 12 years old - in Luke 2.41 to 52.

Where does it say in the Bible that Jesus' ministry was 3 years?

--------------------The gospels do not actually say how long the mission of Jesus lasted. However, scholars point out that the events described in the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) could have been accomplished in a few weeks. There is no mention of the Passover from the beginning of his mission until the final journey to Jerusalem and for these reasons they believe that his entire mission, at least in the synoptic gospels, appears to have taken no more than a year.On the other hand, John's Gospel, by its references to the Passover (John 2:13, 6:4, 11:55, 12:1, 13:1), indicates that, for its author, the mission of Jesus lasted three years.

Why did Jesus wait so long to start his earthly ministry?

Ministry is to Minister to people, to serve. Jesus was ministering from birth, through what he did, the attitudes and behaviours he had, just like we have our own unique ministry. However I assume you mean a formal ministry, in which I have no definite answer. All I can suggest is Jesus probably underwent Rabbi training, which takes many years to pass at the highest level. Jesus came to fulfil the Law, so he must have known the Scriptures and it's teachings inside out. Hope that helps :-)

How come jesus is not mentioned in the bible other than his birth and his death?

Jesus is mentioned everywhere in the Bible. There are prophecies about him in the Old Testament, and in the Gospels, it is all about His ministry. In Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, He is in almost every chapter. Even after his death, Paul talks about him numerous times. In addition, he is mentioned by many contemporary historians such as Josephus, Tacitus, Pliny and so on, and many writers in the early Church such as Irenaeus, who was a pupil of Polycarp, himself a pupil of John, the disciple, and Jesus' closest friend.
