We do not know for sure the exact age of Jesus when He was crucified, but He was probably 33 years old. Here is the argument.
Jesus was baptized. But the reason He was baptized was to "fulfill all righteousness," (Matt. 3:15). He had to fulfill the legal requirements for entering into the priesthood after the order of Melchizedek (Psalm 110:4; Heb. 5:8-10; 6:20). Priests offered sacrifice to God on behalf of the people. Jesus became a sacrifice for our sin (1 Pet. 2:24; 2 Cor. 5:21) in His role as priest.
To be consecrated as a priest, Jesus had to be: 1) washed with water - baptism - (Lev. 8:6; Exodus 29:4, Matt. 3:16). 2) Anointed with oil - the Holy Spirit - (Lev. 8:12; Exodus 29:7; Matt. 3:16). Additionally, He may have needed to be 30 years old, Num. 4:3, "from thirty years and upward, even to fifty years old, all who enter the service to do the work in the tent of meeting."
Therefore we can conclude that Jesus began His earthly ministry at the age of 30. Since it went on for 3 1/2 years before Jesus was crucified, it is safe to say that He was 33 at the time of His death.
Remember he is alive and well today

The Bible says in Luke 3:23, that Jesus was 30 when he began his public ministry. If you read through the gospel, you will see it mentions several feast and holidays. If you track these, it appears that Jesus' ministry lasted about 3 1/2 years. That would have made him 33 when he was crucified. But his actual age is not stated anywhere in the scriptures.

He was 33 1/2 years old. He was 30 when he was baptized and began his ministry, which lasted 3 1/2 years.
He did die for our sins. He was dead for 3 days until he was resurrected.

He didn't "get killed," He was beaten and crucified.
By the way, Jesus was about 33 years old.

Jesus' Age
A heretic [min] said to Rabbi cHanina (bar Hama):
--"Have you heard how old Balaam* was (when he died)?"
(Hanina) said to him:
--"The record does not record (it).
But (I would say) he was 33 or 34 years old from the text:
--'Men of blood and frauds shall not live out half their days' (Ps 55:23)."
(The heretic) said to him:
--"What you say is right!
I myself have examine the account of Balaam and it is written:**
--"Balaam the lame was 33 years old,
when he was killed by Phineas the Robber."***
--- Babylonian Talmud, Sanhedrin 106b
* "Balaam" the false prophet; a frequent epithet for Jesus by later rabbis to avoid Christian censorship.
** The calculation of Jesus' age as 33 at the crucifixion is based on Luke 3:23 plus the Fourth Gospel's account of a public career spanning three Passovers.
