The Age of Jesus was what?

[GlidingWings]

I have randomly heard from a couple of sermons in the past that Jesus began to preach at the age of 30.

Of course back then I would take things at face value being what the preacher says. Yet I have never actually read in a study how this is to be True.

So I am asking is this a fact in the Bible or in anything else that Jesus was actually 30 when he began to preach? And if this is true why did Jesus wait for 30 years before to proclaiming the Gospel of the good News? How do we know He did die on the cross three years later after this? I have not read the whole Bible but good sections of the Bible at most. But I am working on a goal within 3 years of study I will complete the Bible in reading.

Jesus, when he began his ministry, was about thirty years of age, being the son (as was supposed) of Joseph, the son of Heli,

(Luk 3:23)

The Bible doesn't tell us why Jesus waited until he was about thirty.

The reason we know his ministry lasted three years is because the Gospels, when taken together, record Jesus celebrating three passovers during his ministry.

When he was 12, he was discussing scripture with the elders in the temple and was amazing them with his knowledge (see Luke 2: 41-50), so even though his ministry didn't begin until he was 30, he may have been spending the years before that developing his theology. The bible doesn't say what happened in between 12 and 30. Did he never return to the temple to discuss scripture with the elders? Or did it become such a common thing that Luke didn't bother to include it in his gospel?

I always wish that paper had been cheaper and more plentiful in the 1st century, so the gospels could be more comprehensive. Imagine all that we would know today if Luke had possessed a typewriter and a couple reams of paper!

There is another way to consider that also, the Holy Spirit had written all that was God's will and purpose. He spoke everything into existence out of nothing, I don't think more paper was an issue, do you?

No I don't think it was an issue, but being me I would love to know what was contained in these unwritten books....

John 21:25 Now there are also many other things that Jesus did. Were every one of them to be written, I suppose that the world itself could not contain the books that would be written.

Only because I think it would be amazing to know, not because I think it is necessary to know.

It will provide good reading or hearing later at some stage.

If you where going to write down everything the Creator of the universe has done, how much paper do you suppose you would you need anyway?

Same here....

Why did Jesus wait until he was 30 to begin his ministry? He did not begin his ministry until the Father bore witness of Him being His Son. The OT prophesied to the exact time of his coming and his being cutoff. It was all part of the Master Plan and was executed flawlessly. God is amazing to say the least.

Numbers 4:1-4 The age limits of a priest

4 And the Lord spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying,

2 Take the sum of the sons of Kohath from among the sons of Levi, after their families, by the house of their fathers,

3 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.

4 This shall be the service of the sons of Kohath in the tabernacle of the congregation, about the most holy things:

Christ was a Prophet, Priest, and King. Jesus had to honor the scripture by waiting until he was 30 before his could be anointed to serve.
