I saw this while reading some George Carlin pages. But seriously, what year did Jesus think it was?
Britannica said:There is no calendar reference in the New Testament; the contemporary Aramaic documents from Judaea are rare and prove only that the Jews dated events according to the years of the Roman emperors.
There is no direct historical evidence for the year that Jesus thought it was, as he did not leave any written records. However, based on the accounts in the Bible and other historical sources, scholars have estimated that Jesus was born between 6-4 BCE and died around 30-33 CE.
No, Jesus would not have used the same calendar as we do today. The modern Gregorian calendar was not introduced until the 16th century. Jesus would have followed the Jewish calendar, which was based on the lunar cycle and had different months and years than the modern calendar.
During Jesus' time, people used a combination of the Jewish calendar, the Roman calendar, and other local calendars to keep track of time. They also used astronomical events, such as the phases of the moon and the position of the stars, to determine the passage of time.
The year that Jesus thought it was is significant in the context of his life and teachings, as it marks the beginning and end of his ministry. However, there is no particular significance to the year itself in relation to the rest of history.
The year of Jesus' birth and death is based on historical and biblical records, as well as astronomical calculations. The Bible states that Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, who died in 4 BCE, and that he began his ministry at around the age of 30. Based on these factors, scholars have estimated that Jesus was born between 6-4 BCE and died around 30-33 CE.
