During my many years of Bible study, I have reviewed the chronologies written by many Bible students and teachers, but always found that because of the Author using so much speculation in determining some of the dates, I found them to be unreliable. So the only way that I had of being confident in the accuracy of one, was to do it myself.
This work, to the best of my knowledge, contains no speculation, but uses only the facts of the Holy Bible, and the best verifiable information found in the available history books.
Since all dates have been rounded off to even years, there is bound to be some error, but this work was not completed to become the gospel on the subject, but only as a fairly accurate guide to aid the Bible Student.
This work was undertaken to point out the approximate date of Jesus’ birth, death and the duration spent in Egypt

ADDITIONAL FACTS

(Matt 2:1)
Herod ordered the children in Bethlehem
Herod supposed that Jesus could have been at least 2 years old at

Jesus was probably born about 6-5 BC.
Jesus started his ministry shortly after John the Baptist started his, in the
15th or 16th year of Tiberius Caesar, about AD 28 or 29. (Luke 3:1)
Jesus was probably 33 or 34 years old when he started his ministry.
If Jesus= ministry lasted 3 years, he would have been about 36 or
37 years old when he was crucified.
