Jesus' Ministry & Crucifixion (jan 1, 29 – jan 1, 37)
Description:
Luke 3:1 - Jesus' ministry started after Tiberius had been emperor for 15yrs (i.e. 29AD)We don't have specifics for Jesus' crucifixion, but Roman historian and senator Tacitus says (in his Annals 15.44) - "Christus, from whom the name had its origin, suffered the extreme penalty during the reign of Tiberius at the hands of one of our procurators, Pontius Pilatus,"
Tiberius reigned 14AD-37AD, with Pilate being in power in Judea between 26AD and 37AD
It is therefore fair to deduce that Jesus' ministry started in c.29AD, and his crucifixion happened before 37AD
