Was Jesus crucified on the Passover, of earlier?

[polonius]

The question is whether the Sabbath which came the next day was a Saturday Sabbath or the Passover Sabbath or both. I believe that all the evidence is unanimous that Jesus was crucufied on the day before the Passover. Matthew confirms this, as in Matthew 27:62 he says that the day after the crucifixion was the "one after Preparation Day" (ie preparation day for the Passover.

And John has no Eucharist account at the last supper.

Checkpoint,
re: "He died on Wednesday before sunset, and rose on the Sabbath, before Sunday began at sunset."

How do you reconcile that with Luke 24:21?

Not if the resurrection occurred during the night, i.e., the first half of the calendar day.

I'm missing your point.

JehovahsWitness,
re: "Are you suggesting Jesus was dead three nights? If so how could he be resurrected on the third day as predicted? Wouldnt the third night take him into the 4th [calendar] day?"

Indeed it would, which is in line with Mark 8:31, Matthew 12:40 and Luke 24:21.

The Gospel accounts do not tell us that precisely as to exactly when his resurrection took place.

What we are told is he would be dead three days and three nights, he would rise on the third day, and he had already risen when the angel spoke to the women at daybreak on Sunday.

But you said that a "...third night would take him into the third daylight..."

Exactly. Checkpoint, I'm still trying to understand what you mean. Could you use my chart and show me where I'm going wrong?

(Wed) 3pm {1st day (light) JC is dead} ---> [sunset] {end of first day} {beginning of 2nd day Thurs} NIGHT#1 //MORNING

(Thur) 3pm {2nd day (light) JC is dead } ---> [sunset] {end of second day} {beginning of 3rd day Fri} NIGHT#2//MORNING

(Friday) 3pm {3rd day (light) JC is risen} ---> [sunset] {end of third day} {beginning of 4th day} NIGHT#3//MORNING

How can a third third night take him into --> the third daylight?

It is easy to get confused about this and so draw a different conclusion.

The main reason is the use of "day" in two (or three) ways.

Thus, "day(with night, 24 hours)"; "day(without night, daylight)".

Further, when does a day(with night) start and finish?

God said in Genesis 1 "evening and morning", which is why I said, "the third night would take him into the third daylight".

[Yahwehismywitness]

The importance is not a Easter celebration to the goddess Eastre
It is Passover feast of unleavened bread
The Feast of Unleavened Bread is the first appointment in the year designated by Yahweh to meet with Him in a holy convocation. The festival in itself extends over seven days with the first and the last days being high Sabbaths in which no work is done and it is commenced by the Passover memorial. The instruction to observe this feast was given in relation to Passover and is linked to it and is a continuation of it. "These are the feasts of Yahweh, holy convocations which you shall proclaim at their appointed times. On the fourteenth day of the first month at twilight is Yahweh's Passover. And on the fifteenth day of the same month is the Feast of Unleavened Bread to Yahweh. On the first day you shall have a holy convocation, you shall do no customary work on it. But you shall offer an offering made by fire to Yahweh for seven days. The seventh day shall be a holy convocation; you shall do no customary work on it" (Leviticus 23: 4-8) See also Exodus 13: 4-10; Numbers 28:16-25; Deuteronomy 16: 2-4, 8.

Not if the resurrection occurred during the night time.

But I still don't see your point.
