We all have our views, you and I can see clearly a Wed. crucifixion but that's not the case with everyone.
I apologize if it all seemed like an argument, or a war! That is upsetting. Sorry. Giggle

This is the table of contents of a place that goes about every detail you could ever think was there.

Here's these if you have any interest in skimming though some of them, like these:

Peace and Love!!!

Impossible. Because the 14th was per Mark 14:12, . . . the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, . . . Before Mark 14:17, And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
I will begin by saying, I know no Greek, but let me ask;
Mark 14:12 From Westcott & Hort GNT - Literal Translation - And unto-the-one unto-most-before unto-a-day of-the-ones of-un-leavened, which-also to-the-one to-a-Pascha they-were-surging,

And unto the first day of unleavened which also to the passover they sacrificed, they were saying

The passover is the 14th the feast is the 15th Lev 23. The day the passover is killed is toward the first day of unleavened bread

Scripture 4 all also reads the same way.

And to the first day of the unleavened when the passover they sacrificed, are saying to him

τῇ πρώτῃ ἡμέρᾳ the first day all dative tense. Should the dative be understood as, to, unto or toward.

One other point also; Is not the passover always a preparation day for the high day sabbath of the 15th day of holy convocation. Would they not have also been cleaning out all leaven from their dwelling place?

You are asking multiple questions. To answer all of them would require multiple answers. Too much for one post.
Plesse pick the one you want first. Thank you



My short answer:
My persuasion is Christ was crucified on a Thursday Nisan 15th, Julian date, 30 AD April 6.

There were two types of "Passovers".

I would like to see scripture for this.

I my humble opinion I believe the Word was made flesh therefore I believe the Jesus would have kept the passover just as it was given to be kept in the OT. The only way Jesus could keep the passover was to die when the passover was to die.

Was there a lamb on the table at the Lord's Supper or was Jesus showing that night how after his sacrifice the next afternoon the feast should be kept.

Wasn't the original passover lamb killed late on the fourteenth and eaten the night of the fifteenth, the death angel passed through around midnight and the people departed Egypt before daybrake on the fifteenth a night to be much remembered?

It is your pick. All I can say is if Christ died on the fifteenth he died the wrong day according unto the Word's, Word!

It was the Romans who crucified Christ on the 15th of Nisan.

Joseph of Arimathaea being a devot Jew had to wait until the 15th of Nisan had ended to ask for Jesus' body to place it in his tomb.

Geneva Bible, Mark 15:42, And nowe when the night was come (because it was the day of the preparation that is before the Sabbath)

Note, the day of the preparation begins in our Thursday evening.

Lev 23:24 Speak unto the children of Israel, saying, In the seventh month, in the first day of the month, shall ye have a sabbath, a memorial of blowing of trumpets, an holy convocation.

Your best guess. Was the last day of the sixth month a preparation day?

BTYW I do not know the answer for sure but I would bet that it was/is.

Acts 4:10 Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

Looks like someone did someone's dirty work.

Yep.
Matthew 20:18-19, Behold, we go up to Jerusalem; and the Son of man shall be betrayed unto the chief priests and unto the scribes, and they shall condemn him to death, And shall deliver him to the Gentiles to mock, and to scourge, and to crucify him: and the third day he shall rise again.
