New Testament InterpretationAnswered

Did Jesus die in AD 30 or AD 33?

A viewer asks whether Jesus died in the year AD 30 or AD 33.

Answer

Based on my study, and I have put a lot of study into this, it is AD 33. That fits better with almost every chronology available when you take the chronologies literally. For instance, Luke says Jesus began His ministry in the fifteenth year of Tiberius, and that fifteenth year starts in AD 29; add the three and a half years of His ministry and it ends in AD 33. Try to fit the fifteenth year of Tiberius into three years earlier, AD 26 or 27, and you have a hard fit. That is just one of dozens of chronologies that have to be taken into account.
