How old was Jesus when he started his ministry

To know how old was Jesus when he started his ministry let us know some points about the basic requirements in biblical times. Back in biblical times, to be accepted as a priest there was an age requirement.

The Torah was very clear in Numbers 4:3 that a man must be at least 30 years old to hold such an office.

This would mean that when Jesus started his ministry, after being baptized by his cousin John, he must have been at least 30 years old. Luke 3:23 tells us as much, saying, “Jesus himself began at about thirty years of age.”

Who was Jesus? 

Jesus was a religious leader revered in Christianity, one of the world’s major religions. He is regarded by most Christians as the Incarnation of God.

Although born in Bethlehem, according to Matthew and Luke, Jesus was a Galilean from Nazareth, a village near Sepphoris, one of the two major cities of Galilee (Tiberias was the other).

He was born to Joseph and Mary sometime between 6 BCE and shortly before the death of Herod the Great (Matthew 2; Luke 1:5) in 4 BCE.

According to Matthew and Luke, however, Joseph was only legally his father. They report that Mary was a virgin when Jesus was conceived and that she “was found to be with child from the Holy Spirit”

Jesus as a youth was precariously learned, but there is no other evidence of his childhood or early life. In his mid-30s Jesus had a short public career, his disciples became convinced that he rose from the dead and appeared to them.

They converted others to believe in him, which eventually led to a new religion, Christianity.

How old was Jesus when he started his ministry?

Jesus was at least 30 years old when he started doing his ministry. After that all the things which he dId, he’s known as GOD.
