Duration of Yeshua’s Ministry

Posted by on May 29, 2016 in The Book Reckoning of Time

From the Book Reckoning of Time The dominant understanding of the duration of Yeshua’s ministry is that it lasted three and half years or so. The proof reading for this is found in the Gospel of John, which describes three different Passover festivals over the course of Yeshua’s ministry. This implies that Yeshua preached for a period of three years, although some interpretations of the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew, Mark, Luke) suggest a span of only one year or so. Other...

Posted by on May 29, 2016 in The Book Reckoning of Time

From the Book Reckoning of Time By almost all historical accounts, Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea from 26 AD until 36 AD (replaced by Marcellus either in 36 AD or 37 AD) establishing the date of the death of Yeshua prior to 36 AD.
