:: c. 8 BC - Suggested birth (earliest estimate)
c. 5 BC/4 BC - Herod the Great's death
c. 6 - Suggested birth (latest), Census of Quirinius
c. 26/27 - Suggested death (earliest), Pontius Pilate appointed governor of Iudaea Province
c. 28/29 - John the Baptist begins mission in "15th year of Tiberius" (Luke 3:1-2)
c. 36/37 - Suggested death (latest), Pilate removed from office[2]

Answer

No one knows for sure. But if Jesus was 33 years old when he was executed, then maybe we can infer if we know when he was born according to Bible narration. Herod died 4 BCE, so Jesus must have been born on or before 4 BCE. and Luke 2:2-5 says Jesus was born during the time of Cyrenius (Quirinius) was Governor of Syria. Cyrenius became governor of Syria 6CE. So Jesus must have been born 6BCE or later. So Jesus died between 29BCE and 39+CE. Or a gap span of 10+ yrs.

The year Jesus of Nazareth was Crucified

It is generally believed that Jesus of Nazareth was crucified in Jerusalem circa 30 A.D., but accounts vary. Most Bibilical scholars would agree that Jesus was 33 years old when he was sentenced to death by the Roman governor, Pontius Pilate, but his actual birthdate (and hence his date of execution) remain in debate. Some have listed his birth year as early as 5 B.C., others as late as 5 A.D. It may be helpful to remember that B.C. stands for "Before Christ" and A.D. stands for "Anno Dominae" in Latin, or "In the year of our lord" in English. Therefore, if Jesus was crucified at the age of 33, it stands to reason that the year he died would actually be 33 A.D. according to our present calendar. Changes in the calendar since that time, however, cause the ambiguity regarding the year of His birth.
