How long did Jesus minister?

Answer 1

Scholars have examined the synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark and Luke) and say that they seem to indicate that the mission of Jesus lasted no more than one year. As Lukesuggests that John the Baptist began preaching in 28 CE, some say that the crucifixion took place in 30 CE.

John's Gospel clearly has the mission span three years, because of the Passover visits to Jerusalem. For this reason, some say that the crucifixion took place in 33 CE.

Answer 2

A:Luke's Gospel indicates that the ministry of Jesus began in 29 CE, and that is generally accepted by Christians.

Scholars say that the events described in the synoptic gospels could have been completed in a few weeks, and there si no mention of the annual pilgrimage to Jerusalem for the Passover until the time of the crucifixion. Because of this the synoptic gospels do seem to point to a mission of less than one year. Thus one tradition has the crucifixion of Jesus take place in 30 CE.

John's Gospel actually counts off a period of three years for the ministry of Jesus, as Jesus goes to Jerusalem three times for the Passover. In this gospel, the ministry of Jesus lasted three years. This leads to another tradition that the crucifixion of Jesus took place in 33 CE.
