Default Re: John 2:20 - How old was Jesus? - 11-07-2007, 07:26 PM

Here's a bit more evidence for you to chew on, brother.

"From thirty years old and upward even until fifty years old, all that enter into the host, to do the work in the tabernacle of the congregation" (Numbers 4:3).

Papists, pedophiles and Methodists have always assumed that Jesus commenced his ministry at age 30, in accord with the Jooish rules governing admission to the priesthood, as spelled out in Numbers. Their assumption being that Jesus couldn't wait to fulfill his divine purpose. But that is only an assumption -- and clearly at variance with Jesus' own words in John 2.

So, let's believe Jesus when he tells us he entered the priesthood -- i.e., began his ministry -- at age 46. That ministry lasted 3.5 years, which means that Jesus was age 49 or 50 at the time of his grisly crucifixion, which agrees with Irenæus' account.
