What day was Jesus cruified?

Answer 1

Jesus was crucified at 9 o'clock in the morning and died at 3 o'clock in the afternoon. We know this because Mark's Gospel, the first gospel to be written, divides the last twenty four hours of Jesus' life up into eight periods of just three hours each. These include:

• "As soon as it was morning", which would be 6 am, Jesus was led by the chief priests, scribes and elders to Pontius Pilate for judgement.
• Mark told his readers, " It was the third hour," or 9 am "when they crucified him".
• When "the sixth hour had come" (12 noon), darkness covered the whole earth, reflecting the betrayal at 12 midnight.
• After three hours of darkness, Jesus said "My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?" At 3 pm, Jesus gave up the ghost.
• Jesus was buried in the final period from 3 to 6 pm, before the sun went down, beginning the Jewish Sabbath.

These times are followed more or less faithfully by the later synoptic gospels, but John alters the timing to have Jesus crucified at the sixth hour, which was noon.

Answer 2

It was a Friday, as the Jews would not do work of any kind on a Saturday the sabath.

Answer:

It was also the week of the "Passover"... which means that there were "two sabbaths" that week, neither of which the Jews worked. The first sabbath day of that week was the "Feast" day: the day following the Passover memorial, which is the "first day of Unleavened Bread" [Lev.23:6-7].

The Feast day fell on our "Thursday" that week. Which means that Jesus was crucified on our "Wednesday"... Passover day... and buried in the tomb before sundown on Wednesday.

"...for even Christ OUR PASSOVER is sacrificed for us: therefore let us keep the Feast..." (I Cor.5:7-8).

The second Sabbath that week was the weekly one - our "Saturday"... also in which no work is done. That Saturday was also the "third day" from the time of Jesus' burial. And He rose from the tomb at the same time of day that He was buried on Wednesday - just before sundown on Saturday.

And when the women came to the tomb on the "first day of the week" [our Sunday... a normal work day]... Jesus wasn't "rising"... but was already "risen" [past tense].

Answer 3

The gospels agree that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. In the synoptic gospels, this was the day after the Passover feast, but in John's Gospel it was the same day as the Passover feast.

AnswerA Jewish days begins at sunset.

In John is says that when the men were on the crosses the Jews broke their legs so that they would be dead and able to be taken down so they would not remain on the crosses on The Day of Preparation, A Sabbath.

Jesus was crucified on Wednesday.

At sundown on Wednesday, it was the beginning of the day of Preparation for the Passover;Thursday; this was a High Day or a Special Sabbath. The next day, beginning at sunset on Thursday, was Friday the Sabbath.

At sunset on Friday began the third day, Saturday.

Jesus was in the grave three days.......from just before sunset on Wednesday to just before sunset on Thursday (1 day); to the same time on Friday (2 days); to the same time on Saturday. (3 days).

And three nights, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday.

He rose on the first day of the week, which for the Jews was Sunday; but remember it begins at sunset on Saturday. John tells us that Mary went to the tomb on the first day of the week early, when it was still dark.

To Gentiles that would be Saturday evening.

The day of preparation was also the day, during which the lamb was slain and the people reenacted the wait for the angle of death to passover. Jesus was the Lamb, he died at twilight, as did the lamb. He was the Passover.

AnswerFriday. In The Bible Friday is refered to as the preparation day. AnswerMark, Matthew & Luke: On the Passover.

It is xpresslly stated in the Synoptics that he celebrated the Passover before his death. "Then came the day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed. And he sent Peter and John, saying, Go and prepare us the passover, that we may eat.... And they made ready the passover. And when the hour was come, he sat down, and the twelve apostles with him. And he said unto them, With desire I have desired to eat this passover with you before I suffer" (Luke 22, 7-15; Matt. 26, 17-20; Mark 14, 12-18).

The author of the Fourth Gospel declares that the Last Supper was not the Paschal meal, and that Jesus was crucified on the day preceding the Passover, that is, on the day of Preparation. He refers to the events connected with the last supper as having taken place "before the passover" (13, l); after supper, when Jesus bade Judas do quickly what he proposed to do, he states that the disciples "thought because Judas had the bag, that Jesus had said unto him, buy those things that we have need of against the feast" (13, 29); at the trial, he says, the Jews "themselves went not into the judgment hall, lest they might be defiled, but that they might eat the passover" (18, 28); when pilate is about to deliver hum up to be crucified, he even goes out of the way to repeat that "It was the preparation of the passover."

According to john, Jesus was the Paschal Lamb, and as such, must be slain on the day of Preparation. The slaying of the lambs began at three o'clock in the afternoon, the hour at which Jesus is said to have expired. It was impossible for him to be the Paschal Lamb and at the same time partake of the Paschal meal. This necessarily produced a schism. The Fourth Gospel was written in support of the one side, the synoptics in support of the other.

AnswerJesus was crucified on Friday. AnswerAll the gospels say that Jesus was crucified on a Friday. The synoptic gospels say this was the day of the Passover, after the Passover meal the night before. John's Gospel says that Jesus was crucified on the Day of Preparation, before the Passover meal. AnswerSome have dated this to Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD and died in the 9th hour or 3:00 PM.
do you know?Jesus crusified on Friday or what we call "Good Friday".

Answer 4

It was the daylight portion of Passover - Wednesday in 31 A.D.:

In 31 AD, the Passover death of Jesus occurred during the daylight portion (biblical days begin and end at sunset) of Wednesday, April 25, 31 AD: see timeline below:

Last Supper - Passover night (our Tuesday), 25 April 31 AD, 4th Passover as Sir Isaac newton first postulated

Crucifixion - Passover day (our Wednesday), 25 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of High Annual Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread. He was quickly entombed just before sunset of the start of the High Holy Day Sabbath of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

Resurrection - Saturday Sabbath, 28 April 31 AD, just before sunset and start of first day - Sunday. Jesus ascends to the Father as the 'wave sheaf' offering for mankinds' sins


Ascension - Thursday, 10 June 31 AD or 40 days after the Resurrection awaiting Holy Spirit

NT Church - Pentecost Sunday (50 days after resurrection Saturday), 17 Jun 31 AD and release of God's Holy Spirit to all He chooses (see John 6:44; 65).
