And here's an interesting... How old is Jesus when he stops appearing in the Gospels?

We don't really know.

We don't know.

We don't know the exact timing of when he died.

Was it before Jesus' ministry or shortly thereafter?

We don't know.

But he disappears.

And what's interesting is in Mark 6, verse 3, Mark, who's writing the perspective of Peter, who was one of the inner circle with Jesus,

He refers to Jesus as Mary's son.

Well, in first century Hebrew culture, you would never refer to someone as their mother's son.

Even if the father were deceased, you'd always refer to him as Joseph's son.

It should have been Joseph's son, Jesus.

But he didn't say that.

He says, Mary's son, Jesus.

And I think it was Mark's way, kind of a wink, to say, yeah, I know.

He wasn't the biological father.

He was conceived by the Holy Spirit.

Interesting.

Yeah, so it's kind of an interesting little, but anybody who's familiar with Hebrew culture would tell you right off the bat, oh, wait a minute, he's saying something there.

He would never call her Mary's son.
