32 was a significant age for Jewish men as it was the age at which they were considered fully mature.Jesus began preaching at 32.Otherwise He would have been considered an upstart and no one would have taken Him seriously.

I think He was preparing for His ministry.
When Jesus was 12 years old Mary and Joseph found Him in the Temple court with the teachers, listening to them and asking questions.
When they found Him after searching for 3 days, He asked them, "why were you searching for Me, didn't you know I would be in My Father's house.

Jesus was born (in His earthly life) into a Jewish family. He respected the traditions of that culture one of which was that a male was considered mature and ready to start out on hios opwn work only at 30. Before that he was an apprentice/assistance to his father or to someone else with whom his father placed him to learn and master a trade.

because, in that time period, that's how long it took to become a rabbi.
he most likely started an apprenticeship at about ten years old and finished 20 years later. The 12 disciples were his apprentices.

probably because God wanted him to be old enough to handle the situations he was gonna go through. Remember he wasn't baptize until 30 and then the spirit was in him. So he didn't have the knowledge til then.

I believe and by reading scripture, that Jesus was already teaching in the synagogues when he was a young boy. There were many that were listening to Him read Torah.

That's when he would have started to be respected by the Jewish community for his knowledge of the Torah, but more importantly that is when God called him to fulfill his mission.

That is the age at which the typical male human is emotionally mature.
