How old was Jesus Christ when he died?

We do not know for sure the exact age of Jesus when He was crucified, but He was probably 33 years old. Here is the argument. Jesus was baptized. But the reason He was baptized was to "fulfill all righteousness," (Matt. 3:15). He had to fulfill the legal requirements for entering into the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Heb. 5:8-10; 6:20). Priests offered sacrifice to God on behalf of the people. Jesus became a sacrifice for our sin (1 Pet. 2:24; 2 Cor. 5:21) in His role as priest. To be consecrated as a priest, Jesus had to be: 1) washed with water - baptism - (Lev. 8:6; Exodus 29:4, Matt. 3:16). 2) Anointed with oil - the Holy Spirit - (Lev. 8:12; Exodus 29:7; Matt. 3:16). Additionally, He may have needed to be 30 years old, Num. 4:3, "from thirty years and upward, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tent of meeting." Therefore we can conclude that Jesus began His earthly ministry at the age of 30. Since it went on for 3 1/2 years before Jesus was crucified, it is safe to say that He was 33 at the time of His death Jesus (the man) was crucified at the age of 33.

• I'd say he was 24 at best.
• Scholars estimate he was born 2-7 BCE and died 26-36 BCE.
• Keep in mind, 2,000 years ago the avg life-expectancy was less than 20.
  

he was not 33 years old they dont know excarty what was the age and it dont say that in the bible

Since the Bible is specific about time, Christ would have been 33 1/2 years old when He was crucified, or 33 yrs., 6 mos. The scriptures tell us that He died on Passover, so by using simple math, we can count BACKWARDS 6 mos. from Passover (roughly the middle of March) and determine His date of birth also, roughly the middle of September...
This last entry is pretty accurate; but remember: he also had an earthly existence for some 33 & a half years and also a heavenly preexistence before he came to live as a man on earth, and starting out life as a human baby. He is referred to in the holy scriptures as: "the first born of creation, and the son of God." All things were created through him after he came to be. "I came to be a master worker along side my Father....." Given that understanding, Jesus would have to be many millions of years, and probably billions of years old. No wonder he was so wise!
Meditating on these facts as we know them from the bible will help us understand the meaning of him being a mighty god, but not almighty God. He is the son of God, an actual direct creation of God. Therefore he is not God. He is the image of God, as we would say a son is the image of his father. Yet a son is not in reality the father. Therefore the Father, Son, And Holy Spirit are one in purpose, but not three parts of one entity. The Father, or God, the Creator, was most commonly known by the name of Jehovah. Some refer to him from the Hebrew as YHWH, and think it is wrong to utter God's name aloud. What is wrong is 'to utter God's name in vain.' We are to say His name with reverence and deep respect. Jesus model prayer referred to or known as 'the Lord's prayer' says: "Let your name be sanctified," or "Hallowed be thy name."
