A Chronological Framework for the Public Ministry of Jesus Christ

INTRODUC TION

When Jesus Christ was born in Bethlehem, he entered into human history, lived a perfect life, died
on a Roman cross for the sins of the world, and was raised from the dead. During his public
ministry, he healed the sick, walked on water, cast out demons, preached the good news of the
kingdom, and trained the Twelve to take the gospel to the nations. Many questions have been
asked since that time, including, “When was he born? How long was his public ministry? What did
he do during his rst year; his second, etc.? When was he cruci ed?”

Dr. Harold W. Hoehner, the late Professor and Chairman of the Department of New Testament
Literature and Exegesis at Dallas Theological Seminary, emphasized that “the backbone of history
is chronology” and “chronology is a science of time. It seeks to establish and arrange the dates of
past events in their proper sequence. Thus chronology serves as a necessary framework upon
which the events of history must be tted” (Chronological Aspects of the Life of Christ).

This study seeks to place the events of Jesus in their rightful place in history – like a mental peg
board - and enables us to see the events in his life in their rightful order. Christ did not live
haphazardly, as is clear from his claim, “I glori ed Thee on the earth, having accomplished the
work which Thou hast given Me to do” (John 17:4).
