Luke does not say the Jesus was 30 years if agewhen he started his ministry nor did it say that hisministry started with his baptism which startedwell before. It places his baptism in the contet ofabout 30 years of ages for him that is all. Jesuswas baptising before John was put into prision andhad already been doing wonders for all to see thatis why John stated !I ha"e need to be bapti#ed by

$ou% and are $ou coming to me&'' Luke 3:23 isob"ioulsy a flashback o"er"iew Jesus misitrystarted when he was about 30 years of age and thisis his geneology that is all it states. (atthew ):*2states that when Jesus heard that John was put inprision he went to +alilee.

ommon misconception is that the 6uote in Eohn *:32 is part of that same dayr the a flash forward to the witness of John seeing the spirit descend like alatter after not before Jesus' baptism% Hence !and John bore witness!. Lukelashes forwards but to a different e"ent% John put in prison. John is not putrison untill after Jesus was baptised before the end of the )0 days in therness and then he is beheaded. John already knew at least in part to somet that Jesus was from +od for when Jesus came with his !deciples! to be#ed hence Johns remarks Matthew 3:13.."I have need to be baptied by !ou,re !ou comin to me?## 1$. %ut &esus answered and said to him, "'ermit it to

now, for thus it is fittin for us to fulfill all rihteousness.## John states hereese two separate days !behold the lamb of +od!. It is not clear if he fullyrstood what all this meant .../ote: John states that the do"e would indicatene who !bapti#es with the holy spirit! where Johns remarks here point to

his is a lash orward to after ,hrist >aptsim in the narrati"e to clarify% not the chronology% but to highlsignificance in the e"ents under consideration in the nariti"es

s o r s , e sen wo o s sc p es . an sa o m, re ou en ne, or do we look for another?## /otwithstanding any doubt or concern

may ha"e passed through John the baptist mind while in prison% John does nota complete picture of what is happening% he is only doing what he was told tod his understanding was limited. His message is limited to the one whoied John with the message. It would be made clear only as e"ents proceeded.

e accounts are after the e"ents took place and when the writers had alete understanding of what they meant. Fs such we see that the lamb of +odon of +od and (eisah are all the same thing but that cannot be etrapolatedthe C tet in and of itself ecept in the light of these narrati"es after all thes and witnesses to them are recounted.
