Timeline of Jesus' Life

Nobody quite knows the sequence of events in Jesus' life. The gospels are not necessarily chronological. People have worked hard to work out the timeline from the information available but you see differences between their attempts. Some things are pretty certain and these timelines won't be too far away.

There are two aspects to a chronology: the order of the individual events and the dates.

• Chronology Of Jesus' Life And Ministry - a very useful clickable map locating 53 events (Understanding Christianity)

  • The locations of some events are not known for sure. For example, this page says that Jesus was transfigured on Mt Hermon. This might be correct but the traditional site is Mt Tabor. We perhaps need to recognise where there is doubt.

• Jesus' Ministry Chronology - Ps Craig Crawshaw, 2011 (pdf)

• The Life of Jesus In Chronological Order - (Bible History)

  • This site gives fairly precise dates which might, or might not, be true in an area where there is some uncertainty. Nevertheless, compare this information with other sources.
