WAS MARY A TEENAGER WHEN JESUS WAS CONCEIVED?
“When the time had fully come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under law”—Galatians 4:4 NIV
While some pastors, Bible teachers, and even “scholars”, claim that Mary was a teenager when Jesus was conceived, the Bible does not give Mary’s age. Contrary to the claims that she was only teenager, the Bible says she was “a woman”.
In the two Biblical accounts that deal with Jesus’ miraculous conception, Mary’s age is never mentioned (Matthew 1:18-25; Luke 1:26-35). No clue is given as to her approximate age at that time.
