It implies it. Jesus was in need of baptism, and the Bible says Christ came to John the Baptist at age thirty. The Gospel of John then describes the three-year ministry of Christ, which ends with the resurrection. This seems to imply Jesus' being 33 years of age when He died.

*Edit*
Of course, He wouldn't be exactly 33, unless they crucified Him on His birthday.

Nobody knows for sure the exact year He was born, but there is a lot of scholarly speculation on the subject.

Keep in mind calenders have changed 2 or three times since then, and I doubt Spock could figure it out :)

Not specifically.
It does say his ministry started when he was around 30 and it lasted 3 and a half years.
