And to prove that this is true, it is written\r\nin the Gospel by Luke as follows: “And in the fifteenth year, in the\r\nreign of Tiberius Cæsar, the word of the Lord came to John, the son of\r\nZacharias.” And again in the same book: “And Jesus was coming to His\r\nbaptism, being about thirty years old,”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1042\" id=\"FNanchor_1042\">[1042]</a> and so on. And that it\r\nwas necessary for Him to preach only a year, this also is written: “He\r\nhath sent me to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord.”<a class=\"fnanchor pginternal\" href=\"#Footnote_1043\" id=\"FNanchor_1043\">[1043]</a> This\r\nboth the prophet spake, and the gospel. Accordingly, in fifteen years\r\nof Tiberius and fifteen years of Augustus; so were completed the thirty\r\nyears till the time He suffered. And from the time that He suffered\r\ntill the destruction of Jerusalem are forty-two years and three months;\r\nand from the destruction of Jerusalem to the death of Commodus, a\r\nhundred and twenty-eight years, ten months, and three days. From the\r\nbirth of Christ, therefore, to the death of Commodus are, in all, a\r\nhundred and ninety-four years, one month, thirteen days. And there are\r\nthose who have determined not only the year of our Lord’s birth, but\r\nalso the day; and they say that it took place in the twenty-eighth year\r\nof Augustus, and in the twenty-fifth day of Pachon. And the followers\r\nof Basilides hold the day of his baptism as a festival, spending the\r\nnight before in readings.</p>","headings":["THE WRITINGS OF CLEMENT OF ALEXANDRIA.","THE MISCELLANIES.","BOOK I.","CHAPTER XXI.
