How old did people live to be in Jesus' time?

Question

Jesus' time
not Moses'
not Adam's
Jesus' time

Answer 1

most people, once past child hood because infant mortality and early childhood mortality was very high, had a good chance to make it to fourty, few made it to fifty, once you made it past fifty the chances of getting to seventy was very high, very few made it past seventy to seventy five.Don't forget that those people could die from almost anything, the closest things they had to antibiotics were honey, and mouldy bread. A scratch or a broken bone could be lethal.

Answer 2

well in Jesus time it was probably close to the same as now, maybe a little younger because medical science didn't know as much about the human body..... before Jesus though, and before the flood people lived to be hundreds of years old, the world was a different climate, and our DNA was less riddled with disease and defects which cause us to life shorter today.

Answer 3

I think that in the actual time during Christ's lifetime on earth, the average life expectancy was probably in the 30's for a man, and less for women.

Answer 4

The oldest person in the Bible was Methuselah at 969 years, then later God lowered the average life span to 120 years, and then even lower to our current average of 70 to 80 years--and this because of the increasing wickedness of mankind.
