John the Baptist was said to be 6 months older than Jesus (Luke 1:36). Some researchers have used temple service schedules - John's father, Zechariah, was a Temple Levite - and calculated that John was born in the Spring around the time of Passover - March or April. Therefore, six months later would mean September or October for Jesus' birth (not to mention that shepards wouldn't have their flock out in the winter). I've seen that September time frame mentioned more often than any other date. Oh, and that his birth year was probably off by as much as 10 years plus or minus from our year 0. Early church records are notoriously inaccurate and have been censored and edited too much to be trusted. Same goes for the Bible. Not to get all controversial on ya. ;-)<br>72.
