The Canonical Gospels each tell their own story about Jesus, but according to a general gospel harmony, the Ministry of Jesus begins with his Baptism in the countryside of Judea, near the River Jordan and ends in Jerusalem, following the Last Supper.[1] The Gospel of Luke (3:23) states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry.[2][3] The date of the start of his ministry has been estimated at around 27-29 AD/CE and the end in the range 30-36 AD/CE.[2][3][4][2][5][3][6]
Jesus' Early Galilean ministry begins when after his Baptism, he goes back to Galilee from his time in the Judean desert.[7] In this early period he preaches around Galilee and recruits his first disciples who begin to travel with him and eventually form the core of the early Church.[1][8] The Major Galilean ministry which begins in Matthew 8 includes the Commissioning the twelve Apostles, and covers most of the ministry of Jesus in Galilee.[9][10] The Final Galilean ministry begins after the death of John the Baptist as Jesus prepares to go to Jerusalem.[11][12]
In the Later Judean ministry Jesus starts his final journey to Jerusalem through Judea.[13][14][15][16] As Jesus travels towards Jerusalem, in the Later Perean ministry, about one third the way down from the Sea of Galilee along the River Jordan, he returns to the area where he was baptized.[17][18][19]
The Final ministry in Jerusalem is sometimes called the Passion Week and begins with the Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem.[20] The gospels provide more details about the final ministry than the other periods, devoting about one third of their text to the last week of the life of Jesus in Jerusalem.[21]
The gospel accounts place the beginning of Jesus' ministry in the countryside of Judea, near the River Jordan.[1]
The gospels present John the Baptist's ministry as the pre-cursor to that of Jesus and the Baptism of Jesus as marking the beginning of Jesus' ministry, after which Jesus travels, preaches and performs miracles.[22][23][1]
Jesus's Baptism is generally considered the beginning of his ministry and the Last Supper with his disciples in Jerusalem as the end.[22][1] However, some authors also consider the period between the Resurrection and the Ascension part of the ministry of Jesus.[24] Luke 3:23 states that Jesus was "about 30 years of age" at the start of his ministry.[2][3] There have been different approaches to estimating the date of the start of the ministry of Jesus.[2][25][26][27] One approach, based on combining information from the Gospel of Luke with historical data about Emperor Tiberius yields a date around 28-29 AD/CE, while a second independent approach based on statements in the Gospel of John along with historical information from Josephus about the Temple in Jerusalem leads to a date around 27-29 AD/CE.[3][25][26][28][29][4]
In the New Testament, the date of the Last Supper is very close to the date of the crucifixion of Jesus (hence its name). Scholarly estimates for the date of the crucifixion generally fall in the range AD 30-36.[30][31][32]
The three Synoptic gospels refer to just one passover during his ministry, while the Gospel of John refers to three passovers, suggesting a period of about three years.[33][22] However, the Synoptic gospels do not require a ministry that lasted only one year, and scholars such as Köstenberger state that the Gospel of John simply provides a more detailed account.[22][34][23]
During the ministry of Jesus, the tetrarch ruling over Galilee and Perea in this period was Herod Antipas, who obtained the position upon the division of the territories following the death of Herod the Great in 4 BC/BCE.[35]

The gospels present John the Baptist's ministry as the pre-cursor to that of Jesus and the Baptism of Jesus as marking the beginning of Jesus' ministry.[22][23][1]
In his sermon in Acts 10:37-38, delivered in the house of Cornelius the centurion, Apostle Peter gives an overview of the ministry of Jesus, and refers to what had happened "throughout all Judaea, beginning from Galilee, after the baptism which John preached" and that Jesus whom "God anointed with the Holy Spirit and with power" had gone about "doing good".[36] John 1:28 specifies the location where John was baptizing as "Bethany beyond the Jordan".[37][38] This is not the village Bethany just east of Jerusalem, but the town Bethany, also called Bethabara in Perea.[38] Perea is the province east of the Jordan, across the southern part of Samaria, and although the New Testament does not mention Perea by name, John 3:23 implicitly refers to it again when it states that John was baptising in Enon near Salim, "because there was much water there".[37][38] First century historian Flavius Josephus also wrote (Ant 18.5.2) that John the Baptist was imprisoned and then killed in Machaerus on the border of Perea.[39][40] Luke 3:23 and Luke 4:1 indicate possible activities of Jesus in Judea and Perea around the time of his baptism, as does the initial encounter with the disciples of John the Baptist, in John 1:35-37 where "two disciples heard him speak, and they followed Jesus".[41][42][43] Assuming that there were two incidences of Cleansing of the Temple, another possible reference to an early Judean ministry may be John 2:13-25.[44][45][46]

The Early Galilean ministry begins when Jesus goes back to Galilee from the Judean desert after rebuffing the temptation of Satan.[47] In this early period Jesus preaches around Galilee and in Matthew 4:18-20his first disciples encounter him, begin to travel with him and eventually form the core of the early Church.[1][8]
The Gospel of John includes Marriage at Cana as the first miracle of Jesus taking place in this early period of ministry, before he returns to Galilee.[48][49] A few villages in Galilee (e.g. Kafr Kanna) have been suggested as the location of Cana.[50][51]
The return of Jesus to Galilee follows the arrest of John the Baptist.[52] The early teachings of Jesus result in his rejection at his hometown when in Luke 4:16-30 Jesus says in a Synagogue: "No prophet is acceptable in his own country" and the people reject him.
In this early period, Jesus' reputation begins to spread throughout Galilee. In Mark 1:21-28 and Luke 4:31-37 Jesus goes to Capernaum where people are "astonished at his teaching; for his word was with authority", in the Exorcism at the Synagogue in Capernaum episode, which is followed by healing the mother of Peter's wife.[53][54] Luke 5:1-11 includes the first Miraculous draught of fishes episode in which Jesus tells Peter "now on you will catch men", Peter leaves his net and along with him James and John, the sons of Zebedee, follow Jesus as disciples thereafter.[55][56][57]
This period includes the Sermon on the Mount, one the major discourses of Jesus in Matthew and the Sermon on the Plain in the Gospel of Luke.[8][58] The Sermon on the Mount which covers chapters 5, 6 and 7 of the Gospel of Matthew is the first of the Five Discourses of Matthew and is the longest piece of teaching from Jesus in the New Testament.[59] It encapsulates many of the moral teaching of Jesus and includes the Beatitudes, and the widely recited Lord's Prayer.[59][58][60]
The Beatitudes are expressed as eight blessings in the Sermon on the Mount in Matthew and four similar blessings appear in the Sermon on the Plain in Luke, where they are followed by four woes that mirror the blessings.[61] The Beatitudes present the highest ideals of the teachings of Jesus on mercy, spirituality and compassion.[62][61]
The Major Galilean ministry, also called the Great Galilean ministry, begins in Matthew 8, after the Sermon on the Mount and refers to activities up to the death of John the Baptist.[63][64]
The beginnings of this period include the two miracles of The Centurion's Servant (8:5-13) and Calming the storm (Matthew 8:23-27) both dealing with the theme of faith and fear. When the Centurion shows faith in Jesus by requesting a "healing at a distance" Jesus commends him for his exceptional faith.[65] On the other hand, when his own disciples show fear of a storm on the Sea of Galilee, Jesus instructs them to have more faith, after he orders the storm to stop.[66][67]
In this period, Jesus is still gathering the twelve apostles, and the Calling of Matthew takes place in Matthew 9:9.[68] The conflicts and criticism between Jesus and the Pharisees continue, e.g. they criticize Jesus for associating with "publicans and sinners", whereby Jesus responds: "It is not the healthy who need a doctor, but the sick. I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance." Commissioning the twelve Apostles relates the initial selection of the twelve Apostles among the disciples of Jesus.[69][70] Jesus goes out to a mountainside to pray, and after spending the night praying to God, in the morning he calls his disciples and chooses twelve of them.[71]
In the Mission Discourse, Jesus instructs the twelve apostles who are named in Matthew 10:2-3 to carry no belongings as they travel from city to city and preach.[72][10] Separately in Luke 10:1-24 relates the Seventy Disciples, where Jesus appoints a larger number of disciples and sent them out in pairs with the Missionary's Mandate to go into villages before Jesus' arrival there.[73]
In Matthew 11:2-6 two messengers from John the Baptist arrive to ask Jesus if he is the expected Messiah, or "shall we wait for another?"[74] Jesus replies, "Go back and report to John what you hear and see: The blind receive sight, the lame walk".[75] Following this, Jesus begins to speak to the crowds about the Baptist.[76]
This period is in rich in parables and teachings and includes the Parabolic discourse which provides man of the parables for the Kingdom of Heaven beginning in Matthew 13:1[77][78] These include the parables of The Sower, The Tares, The Mustard Seed and The Leaven addressed to the public at large, as well as The Hidden Treasure, The Pearl and Drawing in the Net.[78]
Following this, the gospels present the Walking on water episode in Matthew 14:22-23, Mark 6:45-52 and John 6:16-21 as an important step in developing the relationship between Jesus and his disciples, at this stage of his ministry.[81] The episode emphasizes the importance of faith by stating that when he attempted to walk on water, Peter began to sink when he lost faith and became afraid, and at the end of the episode, the disciples increase their faith in Jesus and in Matthew 14:33 they say: "Of a truth thou art the Son of God".[82]
Major teaching in this period include the Discourse on Defilement in Matthew 15:1–20 and Mark 7:1–23 where in response to a complaint from the Pharisees Jesus states: "What goes into a man's mouth does not make him 'unclean,' but what comes out of his mouth, that is what makes him 'unclean.'".[83]
Following this episode Jesus withdrawas into the "parts of Tyre and Sidon" near the Mediteranean Sea where the Canaanite woman's daughter episode takes place in Matthew 15:21–28 and Mark 7:24-30.[84] This episode is an example of how Jesus emphasizes the value of faith, telling the woman: "Woman, you have great faith! Your request is granted."[84] The importance of faith is also emphasized in the Cleansing ten lepers episode in Luke 17:11-19.[85][86]
In the Gospel of Mark, after passing through Sidon Jesus enters the region of the Decapolis, a group of ten cities south east of Galilee, where the Healing the deaf mute miracle is reported in Mark 7:31-37, where after the healing he disciples say: "He even makes the deaf hear and the mute speak." The episode is the last in a series of narrated miracles which builds up to Peter's proclamation of Jesus as Christ in Mark 8:29.[87]
In this period, Jesus starts his final journey to Jerusalem through Judea. A the beginning of this period, Jesus predicts his death for the first time, and this prediction then builds up to the other two episodes, the final prediction being just before Jesus enters Jerusalem for the last time, the week of his crucifixion.[88][89] In Matthew 16:21–28 and Mark 8:31–33 Jesus teaches his disciples that "the Son of Man must suffer many things and be rejected by the elders, chief priests and teachers of the law, and that he must be killed and after three days rise again.[90]
Later in this period, at about the middle of each of the three Synoptic Gospels, two related episodes mark a turning point in the ministry of Jesus: the Confession of Peter and the Transfiguration of Jesus.[13][14][91][92] These episodes begin in Caesarea Philippi just north of the Sea of Galilee at the beginning of the final journey to Jerusalem which ends in the Passion and Resurrection of Jesus.[93] These episodes mark the beginnings of the gradual disclosure of the identity of Jesus as the Messiah to his disciples; and his prediction of his own suffering and death.[13][14][93][94][95] Peter's Confession begins as a dialogue between Jesus and his disciples in Matthew 16:13, Mark 8:27 and Luke 9:18. Jesus asks his disciples: But who do you say that I am? Simon Peter answers him: You are the Christ, the Son of the living God.[93][96][97] In Matthew 16:17 Jesus blesses Peter for his answer, and states: "flesh and blood hath not revealed it unto thee, but my Father who is in heaven." In blessing Peter, Jesus not only accepts the titles Christ and Son of God which Peter attributes to him, but declares the proclamation a divine revelation by stating that his Father in Heaven had revealed it to Peter.[98] In this assertion, by endorsing both titles as divine revelation, Jesus unequivocally declares himself to be both Christ and the Son of God.[98][99]
In the Gospel of Matthew, following this episode Jesus also selects Peter as the leader of the Apostles, and states that "upon this rock I will build my church".[35] In Matthew 16:18 Jesus then continues: "That thou art Peter, and upon this rock I will build my church". The word "church" (ekklesia in Greek) as used here, appears in the Gospels only once more, in Matthew 18:17, and refers to the community of believers at the time.[100]
Following the proclamation by Peter, the account of the Transfiguration of Jesus is the next major event and appears in Matthew 17:1-9, Mark 9:2-8, Luke 9:28-36.[14][94][95][95] Jesus takes Peter and two other apostles with him and goes up to a mountain, which is not named. Once on the mountain, Matthew (17:2) states that Jesus "was transfigured before them; his face shining as the sun, and his garments became white as the light." At that point the prophets Elijah and Moses appear and Jesus begins to talk to them.[94] Luke is specific in describing Jesus in a state of glory, with Luke 9:32 referring to "they saw his glory".[101] A bright cloud appears around them, and a voice from the cloud states: "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased; listen to him".[94]
The Transfiguration not only supports the identity of Jesus as the Son of God (as in his Baptism), but the statement "listen to him", identifies him as the messenger and mouth-piece of God.[102] The significance is enhanced by the presence of Elijah and Moses, for it indicates to the apostles that Jesus is the voice of God, and instead of Elijah or Moses, he should be listened to, by virtue of his filial relationship with God.[102]2 Peter 1:16-18, echoes the same message: at the Transfiguration God assigns to Jesus a special "honor and glory" and it is the turning point at which God exalts Jesus above all other powers in creation.[103]
Many of the episodes in the Later Judean ministry are are from the Gospel of Luke, but in general these sequence of episodes in Luke do not provide enough geographical information to determine Perea, but scholars generally assume that the route Jesus followed from from Galilee to Jerusalem passed through Perea.[104] However, the Gospel of John does state that he returned to the area where he was baptized, and John 10:40-42 states that "many people believed in him beyond the Jordan", saying "all things whatsoever John spake of this man were true".[105][106][107] The area where Jesus was baptised is inferred as the vicinity of the Perea area, given the activities of the Baptist in Bethabara and Ænon in John 1:28 and 3:23.[37][38]
This period of ministry includes the Discourse on the Church in which Jesus anticipates a future community of followers, and explains the role of his apostles in leading it.[77][108] It includes the parables of The Lost Sheep and The Unforgiving Servant in Matthew 18 which also refer to the Kingdom of Heaven. The general theme of the discourse is the anticipation of a future community of followers, and the role of his apostles in leading it.[109][110] Addressing his apostles in 18:18, Jesus states: "what things soever ye shall bind on earth shall be bound in heaven; and what things soever ye shall loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven". The discourse emphasizes the importance of humility and self sacrifice as the high virtues within the anticipated community. It teaches that in the Kingdom of God, it is childlike humility that matters, not social prominence and clout.[109][110]
At the end of this period, the Gospel of John includes the Raising of Lazarus episode in John 11:1-46 in which Jesus brings Lazarus of Bethany back to life four days after his burial.[20] In the Gospel of John, the raising of Lazarus is the climax of the "seven signs" which gradually confirm the identity of Jesus as the Son of God and the expected Messiah.[111] It is also a pivotal episode which starts the chain of events that leads to the crowds seeking Jesus on his Triumphal entry into Jerusalem - leading to the decision of Caiaphas and the Sanhedrin to plan to kill Jesus.Crucifixion of Jesus.[112]
The Final ministry in Jerusalem is sometimes called the Passion Week and begins with Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem early in the week that includes the Last Supper, marking the beginning of his Passion.[20][113][114][115][116][117] The gospels pay special attention to the account of the last week of the life of Jesus in Jerusalem, and the narrative amounts to about one third of the text of the four gospels, showing its theological significance in Christian thought in the Early Church.[21][118]
Before arriving in Jerusalem, in John 12:9-11, after raising Lazarus from the dead, crowds gather around Jesus and believe in him, and the next day the multitudes that had gathered for the feast in Jerusalem welcome Jesus as he descends from the Mount of Olives towards Jerusalem in Matthew 21:1-11, Mark 11:1-11, Luke 19:28-44 and John 12:12-19.[113][115][114][119] In Luke 19:41-44 as Jesus approaches Jerusalem, he looks at the city and weeps over it, foretelling the suffering that awaits the city.[113][115][120]

^ ab Eerdmans Dictionary of the Bible states that Jesus began his ministry "ca 28 AD" at "ca age 31". In Chronos, kairos, Christos: Paul L. Maier specifically states that he considers the Temple visit date in John at "around 29 AD/CE", using various factors that he summarizes in a chronology table. Maier's table considers 28 AD/CE to be roughly the 32nd birthday of Jesus, and at http://www.mtio.com/articles/aissar30.htm Paul Meir clearly states that 5 BC/BCE was the year of birth of Jesus. Paul N. Anderson dates the temple incident at "around 26-27 AD/CE" Jerry Knoblet estimates the date as around AD 27 AD/CE. In their book, Robert Fortna & Thatcher estimate the date at around AD/CE 28. Köstenberger & Kellum (page 140) make the same statement as Maier, namely that the 32nd birthday of Jesus was around 28 AD/CE when his ministry began.
