Turn to this page and you will see that Jesus was born sometime between about 15 BC and 8 BC to fit in with the earlier period when Essenes were in Herod's favour so that he could build the temple. We take it from Matthew that they no longer were, whence the story of the flight into Egypt (Qumran?).

If we accept that he began his campaign in 18 BC at age 30, he was born about 12 BC.

Replying to:

You reckon Jesus died in 21AD and was born ca 4BC - making him 25 years old. But elsewhere you say that the Master of the Essenes had to be 30+ years old. How do you reconcile this?.
