Yes I inttérroge
on the age of darling bus in chapter 3 of Luc it east say that it comencé his ministry is approximately 30 years old and that with lasted 3 years and aillor I read this: John CH 8:57 the Jews said to him: You n`as not yet fifty years, and you saw Abraham!


does that carry to believe that it was closer the 50 years than of the 30, you do not find?

Hey, it will work fine if you just ask it in french and one of us can translate it for you ...No problem whatsoever. Repost with more clarity, or in french and I'm sure someone will stumble by to translate. Good morning! Off to bed with me. I think it's a good question...but I'm a little fuzzy on it, and being over tired, I'm afraid to comment for fear of embarrassing myself. Good luck.

Veuillez excuser mon français, il n'est pas aussi bon. On le convient généralement que Jésus a été crucifié à environ l'âge 33, et John 8:57 décrit une situation où les juifs ne pourraient pas croire que Jésus pourrait avoir probablement rencontré Abraham, puisqu'Abraham est mort beaucoup de siècles plus tôt et Jésus n'était pas moitié égale par siècle vieux.

certainement!

This was derision of his statements.

Not according to John Meier's treatment of this issue in v.1 of Marginal (pp 378-379. I don't have time to produce a citation or summarize his comments though. All I'll say is that he sees it as a round number given in mocking tones in regard to some grand claims from Jesus.

That's what wayne said, I just put in an affirmative to let everyone know what wayne had said in his reply.



Can you give us some information tangental to that? I'm guessing there is more than a single instance of the mocking tone(Does the carpenter thing count?)

Oui je m'interroge sur l'âge de jésus car au chapitre 3 de luc il est dis qu'il a comencé son ministère a environ 30 ans et cela à duré 3 ans et ailleur je lis ceci :

Jean ch 8:57 Les Juifs lui dirent: Tu n`as pas encore cinquante ans, et tu as vu Abraham!


cela porte à croire qu'il était plus proche des 50 ans que des 30, vous ne trouvez pas ?

No, it was just that it struck jesus's contemporaries SO odd because jesus would have needed to be hundreds of years old to in their minds be capable. And to them he did not appear to be even an old man(50 was old for that era). They were just incredulous, and you can't read any more into it than that. They were displaying derision to him. The TONE is mocking. The statement is incredulous. You need to spend some time around some rabbi's...they are some cynical bastards, but you love them from the time you meet them.

BTW, at theologyweb there's a conversation that has tangental data on jesus DYING at around 50...I think it was Iraneas or somesuch as the source...You might be interested. I think it was one of the formal debates(though formal debate is too high a word or ideal for some of those skirmishes....)
