I believe he was also Baptized on the day - on his 30th birthday. This would make his ministry exactly 3 1/2 year long - exactly as foretold in Daniel. The destruction of Israel also lasted 3 1/2 years, which fulfills the balance of Daniels last week of the age.

Interesting points. btw, sontagged - thank you for sharing this article. While it has holes, it is definitely worthy of reading

The scriptures hint of that very thing.
He was baptized on His 30th birthday.
A New Moon Day,the first day of His 6th month (summer).
Then led into the wilderness 40 days.
And started His ministry on the same day He was presented in the temple as a 40 day babe.
Day of Atonement, 10th day of 7th month.
3.5 years from His Triumphant Entry,10th day of the 1st month.
And He finished His Work that week as the Passover Lamb, the 14th Day of the 1st month, the 6th and final work day.
And rested in the tomb on the weekly and annual Sabbath, Unleavened Bread (15th day) and rose on the 16th day, First Fruits.
The first work day of the 3rd week.
Note the 16th day a month later commemorates ‘manna from heaven’ on the 16th of the 2nd month.
