For contemporaries of Luke, the 15th year of Tiberius therefore was running from August 19, 28 CE to August 18, 29 CE. According to this reckoning, the baptism of Jesus, 6 months after the beginning of the preaching of John the Baptist (Lk 1:36), was therefore between February 19, 29 CE and August 18, 29 CE. By inference, if Jesus was 30 years old at this event, his birth must have occurred during the period between February 19 and August 18 in 2 BCE. As Luke says that Jesus was "about 30 years", the word "about", translated from the Greek word hosei supposes an approximation. When the classical authors, such as Xenophon (Anabasis II:6:20), used this particular expression hos triakonta "he was as 30 years," translators render it as "he was around 30." The imprecision of term is usually understood as the nearest whole number, for example: "about 8 days (Luke 9:28)" or "about the 6th hour (Lk 23:44)." For counting years the term "about" means that the number of months can be ignored, there is no exception in the biblical text. Thus "about 30 years" implies a period of "30 years +/- 6 months." This gap of more or less 6 months (12 months at the most) can be explained by two types of counting found in the Bible: after the Exodus appeared a religious reckoning starting the new year from Nisan (Ex 12:2) and a secular reckoning (agricultural) shifted by 6 months, which accounted it from Tishri. In addition, the Seleucid calendar in Syria was shifted by 6 months compared with that of Babylonia. Thus, the expression of "about 100 years" (Rm 4:19) or "100 years +/- 6 months" refers to the "100 years" of Genesis 17:17.

Was Jesus baptized on 1st Tishri 29 CE? The answer is no for the three following reasons:
Ø If Jesus had been baptized on 1 Tishri, he could not have attended the feast of Yom Kippur on 10 Tishri and the Feast of Tabernacles from 15 to 21 Tishri (Nb 29:12) since he spent 40 days in the desert immediately after his baptism (Mt 3:16-4:2). Because Jesus is presented as a devout Jew (who was observing Jewish law strictly) so it would be illogical to accept that he could violate an obligation so paramount of the Jewish law.
Ø The 1st Tishri 29, Jesus was exactly 30 years old. But as Luke chose to write "about 30 years", that implied that Jesus was not exactly this age (Lk 3:23). Luke is usually more accurate than the other evangelists230.
Ø The Messiah would have had to appear exactly when the word to restore and rebuild Jerusalem was pronounced, yet this word had not been issued on 1st Tishri but almost two months earlier when this order to rebuild Jerusalem was read by Nehemiah to the Jewish leaders on 3 Ab. The Messiah therefore had to appear on 3 Ab 29 CE (Monday 1er August) which is the baptism date of Jesus. At that time Jesus' age was 29 years and 10 months and it was in the 15th year of Tiberius rule (from 19 August 28 CE to 18 August 29 CE).

Matthew 3

13 Then Jesus came from Galilee to the Jordan to John, to be baptized by him. 14 John would have prevented him, saying, “I need to be baptized by you, and do you come to me?” 15 But Jesus answered him, “Let it be so now, for thus it is fitting for us to fulfill all righteousness.” Then he consented. 16 And when Jesus was baptized, immediately he went up from the water, and behold, the heavens were opened to him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and coming to rest on him; 17 and behold, a voice from heaven said, “This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased.”

9 In those days Jesus came from Nazareth of Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan. 10 And when he came up out of the water, immediately he saw the heavens being torn open and the Spirit descending on him like a dove. 11 And a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

Luke 3

21 Now when all the people were baptized, and when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heavens were opened, 22 and the Holy Spirit descended on him in bodily form, like a dove; and a voice came from heaven, “You are my beloved Son; with you I am well pleased.”

John

29 The next day he saw Jesus coming toward him, and said, “Behold, the Lamb of God, who takes away the sin of the world! 30 This is he of whom I said, ‘After me comes a man who ranks before me, because he was before me.’ 31 I myself did not know him, but for this purpose I came baptizing with water, that he might be revealed to Israel.” 32 And John bore witness: “I saw the Spirit descend from heaven like a dove, and it remained on him. 33 I myself did not know him, but he who sent me to baptize with water said to me, ‘He on whom you see the Spirit descend and remain, this is he who baptizes with the Holy Spirit.’ 34 And I have seen and have borne witness that this is the Son of God.”
