33 A.D.

[37818]

33 AD is now a commonly used year for the crucifixion of Christ. My first study Bible use that year.

Now R. A. Torrey in his book Difficulties in the Bible had made a case for a Wednesday crucifixion. Well my question became was it on a Friday or a Wednesday? The 14th of Nisan fell on a Wednesday in 30AD and a Friday in 33AD. Which I did not really understand at the time. Well can the New Testament accounts resolve this question, Wednesday or Friday?

I am pretty sure the 14th was on Friday in both 30 and 33. That is why those are the two years we debate. The image is from Wayne Grudem

Bottom line - if it was important to know what day of the week - Christ died - Scripture would have told us.
Scripture - doesnt - has no bearing on our salvation - thus - that is just making a mountain out of a molehill.

Then a proof can be made where there can be no real historical crucifixion. Which would also mean no resurrection. Giving us a mythical Jesus Christ. No joke.

Scripture does! And real science, mathematics to back it up too.

Here is tool that scientifically calculates the new moon as would be observed according to Jewish tradition.

Now Mark 14:12 refers to the day the Jews kills the Passover and it been the first day of unleavened bread.

Now Jewish days begin with their evening, so the following day began with it's evening, Mark 14:17. Our Thursday evening Mark 15:42. Again the Jewish day of preparation starts with it's evening.

It was 1969 to my surprise I discovered the crucifixion was on a Thursday. And Luke 24:21, ". . . But we trusted that it had been he which should have redeemed Israel: and beside all this, to day is the third day since these things were done. . . ." The third day since was our Sunday. So counting backwards. The second day since was the Sabbath. Wow, the first day since would be the Friday. And so was crucified our Thursday.
