Passover

There has been some controversy regarding Jesus' crucifixion. If you know me, I don't let things lie quietly, but I search things out, research is what I do. I do not take anything at face value without looking into all the details of the matter. When I am satisfied with my findings, then I make it known, either in the books I write or in my Daily Bible Studies when it comes to biblical matters. There is none more important event in the history of the church than Jesus' death and resurrection. From my earliest days of learning, I tried to figure out how Jesus could die on Friday and rise on Sunday. It didn't make any mathematical sense. There aren't three days and three nights between Friday evening and Sunday morning. This morning I did some digging and found my answer to a problem that has stumped me for too many years to think about. The dates on the graph for the link below are for AD 26-34, given as such because of when Jesus was born, as early as 4 B.C. and that is dependent on who was the governor of Syria at the time of His birth, and especially when the tax was demanded by Caesar Augustus. Thus, the graph for Passover covers several years. There is a wide range of dates for Passover, which is the 14th day of Nisan according to the Jewish calendar. Thus, you have the following dates for Nisan 14: Sunday, April 21, A.D. 26; Friday, April 11, A.D. 27; Wednesday, April 28, A.D. 28; Monday, April 18, A.D. 29; Friday, April 7, A.D. 30; Wednesday, April 25, A.D. 31; Monday, April 14, A.D. 32; Sunday, May 3, A.D. 33; and Thursday, April 22, A.D. 34. The link below will go into further detail regarding Passover.
