Abstract
The abundant chronological details embedded in Scripture, along with external time markers in other ancient histories and in astronomical events, persuasively support the view that Jesus was born in mid-June, 2 BC, not on December 25, 4 BC, and that His ministry endured not for three years, as so often claimed, but for 1,350 days or nearly four years, from His baptism on Sunday, 7 Elul, September 2, AD 29 to His ascension on Friday, 26 Iyar, May 13, AD 33.
