[26:1] Several of the early fathers imagined that it continued only a year.  Some of them, such as Clemens Alexandrinus, drew this conclusion from Isaiah lxi. 1, “To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.”  See Kaye’s “Clement of Alexandria,” p. 347.

[26:2] John ii. 13, v. 1, vi. 4, xii. 1.  Eusebius argues from the number of high priests that our Lord’s ministry did not embrace four entire years.  “Ecc.  Hist.” i. c. x.

[26:3] He lived, therefore, about thirty-three years.  According to Malto Brun ("Universal Geography,” book xxii.), “the mean duration of human life is between thirty and forty years,” and, in the same chapter, he computes it at thirty-three years.  It would thus appear that, at the time of His death, our Lord was, in point of age, a fitting representative of the species.
