Jesus Begins His Public Ministry

Matthew 3:16-17 - And Jesus, when he was baptized, went up straightway out of the water: and, lo, the heavens were opened unto him, and he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove, and lighting upon him: And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.

The Beginning of Christ's Ministry

Jesus began His ministry at 30 years of age, he went to the Jordan River and was baptized by John. He then went into the wilderness and was tempted by the devil. After that he journeyed north to the Galilee region and came to Cana and turned the water into wine. After that He ministered around the Sea of Galilee and then journeyed to Jerusalem.

"All the leading events recorded of Jesus' life are given at the end of this volume in the Chronological Chart and in the Chronological Table of the life of Christ; so that here will be given only a general survey. Jesus began to enter upon his ministry when he was "about thirty years old;" that is, he was not very far from thirty, older or younger. He is regarded as nearly thirty-one by Andrews (in the tables of chronology referred to above) and by most others. Having been baptized by John early in the winter of 26-27, he spent the larger portion of his year in Judea and about the lower Jordan, till in December he went northward to Galilee through Samaria. The next year and a half, from December, A.D. 27, to October or November, A.D. 29, was spent in Galilee and northern Israel, chiefly in the vicinity of the Sea of Galilee." - Smith
