How old was Jesus when He began His public Ministry? He was 30 years old with some change. The Jews challenging Jesus said the construction of the Temple was 46 years. What is 46 minus 30? 16! How old was the Virgin Mary when she gave birth to Jesus? 16! The Immaculate Conception occurred on December 8th, 19 B.C. and the Virgin Mary was born September 8, 18 BC making her 16 years old when she gave birth to Jesus December 25, 2 B.C.!
