Yes, quite detailed and thorough look at the question. Agrees with every opinion I learned from discussion.
Disciples ranged from 13+ to 20+ but more likely not much older.
We see old men pictured as Jesus disciples in iconic paintings, but that is just an atists interpretation, and if it were true, then they, the old men, would likely not have been able to spread the gospel from Israel to India and to Britannia as it is suggested by credible account.
Example, if Peter was in “Babylon” around the mid 60s ( as the scriptures tell us, it appears), and he was the same age or older than Jesus, then he by simple math have had to be in his 60s or 70s. But, if he was 15 or 20 years younger, then in his mid forties to 50s, an older man but not necessarily in his dotage and still able to travel....
Great example of how context and cultural understanding sheds light on the truth of the Word.
