Probably meant to be 3. From the call of the first disciples to his crucifixion, Jesus taught publicly only for a fairly short time. Based on the contentious* presumption that the Gospel of John is presented in chronological order, Jesus is believed by many to have preached over a period of somewhat longer, but not likely much longer, than 2 years.

(* Many scripture scholars believe the Gospel of John was organized thematically, rather than chronologically, although the two possibilities are not inherently mutually exclusive.)

Yes, I was corrected, you are right! However, I consider every day of His life on earth as instructional (all the way up to today through the Eucharist). He taught us love in the manger, and it never stopped...
