What was the influence of Buddhism on the preacher from Galilee? The lost years refers to the time in Jesus's life between his childhood and the beginning of his ministry, a period not described in the Gospels. Following the New Testament accounts of Jesus' young life, there is a gap of about 18 years in his story.
