Some of my previous writings include : Chronology of Life Jesus part 1 to part 3, which seeks to explain how Jesus Christ since birth, serve, and arrive at crucifixion. In this paper to review about ' length of service Jesus Christ '. Based on the source I found the Bible Encyclopedia that: Knowing the length of Jesus' ministry more important than to know the number of services that begin and end.
There are three main theories about the length of service.
(i) The theory of one years .
The first supporter of this theory assume that strong affirmation , that he has applied to himself the verse of Isaiah proclaimed ' year of grace of God ' ( Isaiah 61:2 , Luke 4:19 ) . This theory widely accepted in the days before Nikea . renewed attention against this theory comes from the 17th century . In between the presentation - presentation interesting theory is that the presentation of Van Bebber , " Zur Chronologie des Lebens Jesu , Balser in 1898 and his contributions to " Biblische Zeitschrift " , 1 , 1903.2 . 1904 .
( ii ) The theory of two years .
Supporting theory This includes Apollinarian of Laodicea maintain that during the hose from his baptism Jesus' crucifixion the Passover which was celebrated only there are three , called in John ( 2:13, 6:4 , 11:55 ) . In the century mid very few followers of this theory , but now gets many followers .
( iii ) The theory of three years.
Its earliest supporters and is known to Melito of Sardis . but the broad acceptance in the days after Nikea and during the Middle Ages , basically caused by the influence of Eusebius . He rejected a literal interpretation of the word ' years ' in the phrase ' in God's grace ' , and convincing showing that only the service of three years ' full- satisfy the demands of the Fourth Gospel . In our time this theory also got a lot of followers . Because he called the Passover in John 6:4 , a paragraph that has a lot of prestige script , then the theory ' one year ' should be rejected.
To make a decision between two theories year and three years , then the time interval between 2:13 and John Easter Easter John 6:4 it should be researched carefully. Because there is usually a six -month period between sowing and harvest periods , then the words ' four months' time comes the harvest ' (John 4:35 ) is not can be regarded as the expression goes, but it must be pointed at circumstances of time the words were spoken. the return of Jesus to Galilee referred to in John 4:43 therefore must occur in the winter . That the feast of Purim , as maintained by many supporters theory of two years ( which follows Kepler ) , seems impossible . Day Feast of Purim is celebrated in February / March , so of course immediately after Jesus returned to Galilee . But the words ' after that ' (John 5:1 ) indicated that there was a long lapse of time between his return to Galile and his subsequent visit to Jerusalem . The Feast of the not mentioned by name is more likely is the following Passover in March / April or Tabernacles .
Certain supporters of the theory two years , although it agreed that the feast is the feast day Easter, but equate it with the Passover in John 6:4 . There are maintain that in John 6:4 the word ' is near 'should mean ' just happened ' , while others say that John 6 should be read immediately before John 5 . But the ' word has been ' in John 6:4 can not mean ' just happened ' , because as evident from the words ' after that ' in John 6:1, there long time lapse between the events of John 5 and John's six events . Anyway there is no evidence of manuscripts that support the rearrangement of the chapters of the proposed it .
There seems to be between Passover Passover in John 2:13 and 6:4 with the result that the length of Jesus' ministry lasted three years management . According to the first of the theories mentioned above , Easter 's first and last of the ministry of Jesus is Easter - Passover in the year 29 and 30 , while according to the second Passover It fell in the year 28 and 30 . Finally, according to the third Passover fell in 30 and 33 .
