Yet Another Eclipse for Herod by John P. Pratt,
Reprinted from the Planetarian , vol. 19, no. 4, Dec. 1990, pp. 8-14.

Age Thirty. As mentioned above, Luke says Christ was about thirty when he was baptized after John began his ministry in A.D. 29. The year of A.D. 29 is also indicated because the crucifixion of Christ most likely occurred in the spring of A.D. 33 [30] (with A.D. 31 and 32 astronomically unacceptable), and the Book of John implies that his baptism was about three and a half years before.

If Christ was baptized in A.D. 29, one needs only to count back "about thirty" years to arrive at his birth date about 2 B.C. Today it is popular to interpret "about thirty" as meaning "26-34" in order to accommodate a birth date for Christ in 6-5 B.C. However, the early Christian fathers, such as Irenaeus and Epiphanius, accepted the straightforward interpretation that it meant a few months less than thirty. [31]

Christ made a point of fulfilling the law of Moses in every detail (Mat. 5:17), which would have included beginning his public ministry at age 30 (Num. 4:3). He apparently began his public ministry at the Passover in A.D. 30 (after his baptism) because 1) his first miracle was done rather secretly "not many days" before that Passover (John 2:9-13); 2) at that time he said, "mine hour is not yet come" (John 2:4), suggesting that the time for his public ministry had not arrived because he was not yet thirty; and 3) he then openly taught and did miracles at Passover (John 2:23), [32] implying that he was then thirty. If so, Christ was born in the spring of 1 B.C., on or shortly before Passover

Luke's text gives more details about the baptism of Jesus because it was an important event from a chronological point of view: In the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea (...) Now as the people were in expectation and all were reasoning in their hearts about John: May he perhaps be the Christ? (...) Jesus himself, when he commenced [his work], was about 30 years old (Lk 3:1,15,23). According to this text, Jesus appeared as the Messiah at his baptism (the word Messiah means "anointed" in Hebrew and was translated into Greek by Christ) in the 15th year of Tiberius (19 August 28 to 18 August 29 CE) when he was about 30 years old (in fact 29 years and6 months). As he was born on 29 September 2 BCE, he was exactly 30 on 29 September 29 CE, which involves attaching his baptism at the end of the 15th year of Tiberius. Luke's text makes it possible to date Jesus' baptism around August 29 CE. He also indicates that at this time the people were waiting for the Messiah
