The year that Jesus died is known. He died in the year 33. In fact, not only is year known, the exact date of Nisan 14, 33 is when he died. Nisan was a month on the Jewish Lunar calender that corresponds to late March and early April on our calender. The chronology of Jesus is uncertain, disputed, and perhaps impossible to ascertain definitively based on available evidence. The texts used in chronological reconstruction, the four canonical gospels, provide few clear dates - including the year of Jesus's birth, death, and age at death. (Dates for rulers and high priests are known from other sources). Moreover, the material unique to each gospel further complicates the discernment of one, harmonized chronology. Lastly, some commentators have questioned their historicity (see Historicity of Jesus). One crucial issue is that of whether the three synoptic gospels were composed to follow the liturgical calendar - in other words, intended to be read aloud section-by-section throughout the church year, with each section illuminating a theme found in the Torah readings for that day. (Church lectionaries follow the same principle.) If so, then any attempt to tease out a chronology would be fundamentally misguided, as episodes from Jesus's life and teachings would have been re-arranged to fit a one-year period. In brief, the primary events in Jesus' life are believed to have occurred around these times:[1] : :: c. 8 BC - Suggested birth (earliest estimate) :: c. 5 BC/4 BC - Herod the Great's death :: c. 6 - Suggested birth (latest), Census of Quirinius :: c. 26/27 - Suggested death (earliest), Pontius Pilate appointed governor of Iudaea Province :: c. 28/29 - John the Baptist begins mission in "15th year of Tiberius" (Luke 3:1-2) :: c. 36/37 - Suggested death (latest), Pilate removed from office[2] ::
