Luke 3:23
Jesus began his ministry at about thirty years of age. Luke records this detail with a single word of deliberate approximation. Why that age? The answer runs through Levitical law, royal precedent, prophetic timeline, and the logic of the incarnation itself.
Matthew 12:40
Jesus said 'three days and three nights' — but the Emmaus disciples counted Sunday as the third day, not the fourth. The Greek and Hebrew data behind the crucifixion-day debate reveals what the text actually says and where inference begins.
