John the Baptist began his ministry in 28CE

Where did you get that date from?

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, Luke 3:23

Three years of ministry makes Him about 33 at the time of the crucifixion.

In the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar> Luke 3:1

Now Jesus Himself began His ministry at about thirty years of age, Luke 3:23

Luke screwed it up by dating Jesus's birth to the time of the Census of 4CE. Which is not compatible to a time of birth under Herod the Great. On Luke's mistake that would make him about 30. Luke got it wrong.
