Yehoshua's dates and days for crucifixion

                                    Julian Year 0033                   Jewish Year 3793                 

                                               

Julian Weekday          =        Thursday             Friday                 Saturday          Sunday

                                               

Buried;  After 6 pm =                                  

14 Nisan (Fri; Jews)             

                       

After 6 pm – 6 am =              14 Nisan                15 Nisan        16 Nisan                17 Nisan

Jewish Evening =                  *(Friday)              (Saturday)       (Sunday)                        

Day's Beginning                                           

                                               

Crucified                       12 - 3 pm; Thurs                           

                                               

AM = Morning =       13 Nisan              14 Nisan       15 Nisan          16 Nisan

6 am to 6 pm              (Thurs)                   (Fri)                 (Sat)                   (Sun)

                                               

Julian Date                31 Mar 33              1 Apr 33     2 Apr 33       3 Apr 33

                                               

*( ) = Jewish weekday is in parenthesis;  A Jewish day is the Evening and next Morning.                             

It is easy to see how confusing it is when determining Jesus' death.                                          

Jesus was crucified and buried on a Thursday by Julian calendars but, Friday by Jewish calendars.  So, you should always get two answers, depending on who you ask.

                                               

For Jews:                                          

Jesus was interred in the ground after 6 pm so, it was considered Friday, 1 Apr 33 or 14 Nisan 3793.                                               

                                               

For non-Jews:                                               

He died 12 – 3 pm on Thursday 31 Mar 33 and rose on Sunday 3 Apr 33.                               

Thus, he was in the grave 3 days and 3 nights.                                         

Thurs eve to Fri morn = 1 day.                                           

Fri Eve to Sat morn = 2 days                                              

Sat Eve to Sun morn = 3 days

Many scholars that are non-Jewish use the 14 Nisan date which is a Friday for

Jews; but, in reality it is a Thursday for non-Jews.  Logically, it is easier to work backward from Sunday morning when Jesus arose, to when he was put in the ground.  He said he would be in the ground 3 days and 3 nights in the earth, Mt 12:40.

Let’s see how easy it is by working backwards, below.

3 days = Sun (am), Sat (am), Fri (am)

3 Nights = Sat (pm), Fri (pm), Thurs (pm)

Genesis 1:5 Evening and morning was the first day.

Matt 12:40  so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.

Acts 1:3 After 40 days…..

 

For fun I included the Chinese days of the week as their symbols illumine the life of Christ, also.
