About how long did Jesus preach and teach before His crucifixion?

• A. About 1 year
• B. About 2 years
• C. About 3 years
• D. About 3-1/2 years

Answer: (D)

Jesus began his public ministry after his baptism and temptation, around the age of thirty, and for a span that stretches over several seasons of teaching and preaching. The Gospel records show multiple Passover celebrations during this time, and when you line up those feasts with the events in the other Gospels, the timeline fits roughly three and a half years from the start of his ministry to his crucifixion. This duration accounts for the wide range of teachings, parables, miracles, and interactions he had with crowds and with his disciples before the Passion.
