Quote:I've been wondering about the bible chronology as well but how can we understand Luke 3:1? Because Luke gave us the following time frames.
The 15th of Tiberius Caesar which must have been in the year Sept 28-sept 29 CE.
Then John preached for half a year when Jesus started his mission.

From a Biblical perspective,the reconstruction of theTemple by Herod was in 20 B.C. and Yeshua appears in the Temple at Passover 46 years later. (John 2:20) That's 26 A.D. unless I've added wrong.
Reconstruction on the Great Temple in Jerusalem is begun by King Herod Agrippa.

Contradictions of dates between secular sources and the Bible is one of the problems that arises when we try to cross-reference time-lines. Nevertheless, if I can get an approximate date of the Peshitta's consolidation of 22 books in Babylon, within a range of 3-5 years I'll be able to personally work with that as a base. As of now, I don't even know the decade when the 22 book Peshitta text arrived in Babylon. As far as I know, Thomas is listed as the first CoE Patriarch, arrived in Babylon in 33 A.D. Obviously he did not bring the 22 book Peshitta with him.

However Shimon Kepha wrote his epistle while in Babylon. (I Peter 5:13) What year was this? Did Shimon Kepha have the gospel's with him at that time?
