When Was Jesus Born?
The 25December date was first cited around 335AD (so it’s not remotely credible). [cite] The gospels of Matthew and Luke date his birth to the time of Herod, ie before 4BC, but there’s no reason to credit this. Luke adds that Quirinius held a census around the time of Jesus’s birth, but that census was really in 6AD, and the connection is even less credible than the reference to Herod. [debate] If we guess he died around 30AD (+/-5), and we guess he was around 30yo when he died (+/-5), then he was likely born between 10BC and 10AD.
