How long is Jesus Christ Serve ?

     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 .

End of The Ministry of  Jesus 

     Jesus was crucified when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judaea . Therefore crucifixion occurred in one year between 26-36 . Various attempts have been held to determine the year which is most likely . 

(i) FromLuke 13:1 and 23:12 may be concluded that Pilate has been a trustee of the country some time before the crucifixion , and by because crucifixion was almost unable to occur as early as 26 and 27 . 

( ii ) By many authors , the crucifixion set occurred in the year positions Gemini, ie year 29 . But the calendar is completely not accepted everywhere else in the early Church , and there is no evidence, although some people think that the opinion that the realization of a tradiri that can be trusted. The authors who bring it , such as Tertullian is the earliest , most including Western Church Latin . March 25, date of the crucifixion which is given by Hippolytus , Tertullian , and many others, fell on the day Friday in the year 29 . But the crucifixion took place at the Passover full-moon , and in 29 moon almost certainly fall on April. 

(iii) When Pilate became guardian country, he hurt Jews by placing some persisai Nasar in a palace in Jerusalem . Herod Antipas took part in leading forwards the request to Tiberius to move shield Nasar 's . According to some experts , this is what explains hostilities mentioned in Luke 23:12 . Tiberius granted request. The experts who together maintain , that Tiberius will not be doing this for him under the influence beliefs , Sejanus , who became the main enemy of the Jews . Concluded that penyeliban must occur after the death of Stephen on October 31st, so no earlier than 32 . But hostility between Herod and Pilate was probably caused by the murder mentioned in Luke 13:1 , or for any disputes Untold history. 

( iv ) Keim in his ' Geschichte Jesu von Nazara , ET 2, page 379 , says ' big year in the history of the world 'on the addiction to the statement of Josephus , that defeat of Antipas against Aretas on year 36 by some people seen as ' from God , and that very true, as punishment for what she has done over John , called the Baptist ' . Keim concluded that judgment death of John must have occurred just two years earlier, in the year 34 , and the crucifixion in the year 35 . But the punishment does not constantly immediately following the crime . Being the origin of hostility between Antipas and Aretas is probably due to Antipas berserai by children Aretas . Instructions in Josephus says the time interval between the divorce and war in the year 36 . 

(v) The attempts to determine the year of the crucifixion , the most successful is that effort is called with the help of astronomy . According to four Gospels , the crucifixion occurred on Friday . But according to gospel Synoptic Friday that falls on the 15th of Nisan , in John's Gospel on the 14th of Nisan. Then the problem to be solved with help of astronomy is , determining between years 26-36 that year Which is dated 14 and 15 tombstone fell on a Friday ?. Because in New Testament times the months Jews follow travel months, and the beginning of the month determined by observation ' month new ' ( dated one) , then this problem basically is the problem to determine the number of ' new moon 'is visible . 

     By studying this issue Fotheringham , and Schoch each reaching a formula that if applied they found that 15 Nisan fell on Friday found only in year 27 and December 14 Nisan which falls on Friday found only in year 30 and 33 . By because in 27 it is not possible in the crucifixion , then election lies between the years 30 (7 April) and 33 (April 3 ) . In the chronology of the Gospels Synoptic for weeks miserable and events given a place on the 15th of Nisan , which seems unlikely, because that day is a day of meeting a saint. Chronology of John about a week It seemed to him more likely , and at least until at the beginning of the century 3 appears to have been more commonly accepted throughout the church . Attempts to reconcile the Gospels in this matter does not reach general satisfaction and discussion of this issue took place continue . But it is worth noting , that the calculations of astronomers do not pointing to a year for the crucifixion , which, on grounds other acceptable , in which 14 Nisan falls on Thursday .

Chronology of the Life of Jesus part 2

Early Ministry of Jesus 

     In between the birth of Jesus and the early His ministry there was a period of about '30 years old ' . Thus Lukas 3:23 . But the beginning is called there may not be the beginning of his ministry , and is not known how broadly the word ' about ' may be interpreted . The question is unequivocal: ' Your Age had not yet reached 50 years ' (John 8:57 )gives the impression that during his ministry Jesus age 40 years , and according to Irenaeus among elderly Asian traditions that have says so. But the Jews may refer to the enter retirement age Levites ( Numbers 4:3 ) . It means ' if Jesus still serve God (as his demands ) , he is not biased to at the age of 50 years ' . 

     Jesus began his ministry after John the Baptist began his service . Because ministry of Jesus was not earlier than the 15-year reign Tiberius ( Luke 3:1 ) . Based on strong reasoning , dihutung view that this year from the time of Tiberius became government servants in August , is now generally rejected. August death on 19 August 14 , the second year reign of Tiberius began October 14 at 1 in the Syrian calendar , on a Nisan 15 in in the Jewish calendar . So in Likas 3:1 , 15 th year rule means : or 27 ( October 1 ) -28 , or 28 ( 1 Nisan ) -29 . The last calendar is more likely , presumably because here Luke wearing an environmental source taken from the Baptist , and many of the writings of those non - Jews , Jews and Christians , mentions that his 15 years covering the years of Tiberius 29 . Luke 3:21 shows that during the interval between calls Baptism and the baptism of Jesus , but its length can not be determined . 

     Baptism Jesus was followed by 40 days in the desert , calling the disciples first , the wedding at Cana , and whereabouts in Capernaum for temporarily. After these events , the least covers two months , went to Jerusalem to celebrate Easter His first ministry (John 2:13 ) . The date appears to be given by the claim of the Jews ' Forty- six years, people have established This temple ' (John 2:20 ) , plus the statement of Josephus ( Ant. 15 . 380 ) that Herod on his 18 year reign ( 20/19 before AD ), ' began working on the development ' of this temple . But Herod must collect a lot of building materials before construction starts, and the time spent was probably not included in the 46 that year. Moreover , the statement that Jews may contain the idea that the building had been completed some time before Easter this .

Chronology of the Life of Jesus part 1

Jesus was born before the death of Herod the Great ( Matthew 2:1 , Luke 1:5 ) , therefore not later than four years before the Christian era. According to Luke 2:1-7 Jesus was born residents held at the time of registration , when Quirinius became guardian of Syria . Quirinius was not possible ruled Syria before he was appointed consul in the year 12 before CE. Though it is no news in the writings of Josephus , or in Roman historians writing about Quirinius ruled between the 11th up to 4 BC. But he became the guardian of Syria in the year 6 or 7 AD , which was then entered into a registration population of Judea that caused the rebellion of Judas the Galilean.Case This causes some people think that enrollment in Luke 1:2 , held when Jesus was born to be confused with registration more then this , which is more commonly known . But perhaps that Quirinius memereintah Syria from the year 11 BC to Titius 's arrival as a guardian his country in the year 9 BC and that in August decided to hold a registration after consulted with Herod when Herod visited him in the year 12 BC. Thus the birth of Jesus may have occurred in the year 11 BC. Attempts to determine the month and day are not member real results . About " Star of the East " (Matthew 2:2 ), then Halley's comet that seemed in the year 12 BC to a very wonderful vision , which fits into a pioneer the way for him , which became the World Light . Although the ancient summons tailed stars are usually seen as a sign of evil , but the Italian astronomer , Argentieri concluded , that the comet This is the star of the Magi . This conclusion is based on two allegations is doubted by many, namely, that Jesus was born on day Sunday and on December 25 . By recognizing that the word which is translated " Star " in Matthew 2 that refers only to one star , then the followers of the theory that it is a star in the East combination of Saturn , Jupiter , has been divided into two streams : one maintain that the star is Saturn and the other is that Jupiter star. But it appeared unlikely that merging of these two planets will have significant meaning for astrologers astrologers - east of the birth of a king.
