Passover is ALWAYS on Nisan 14 and it was the time Yeshua was crucified as well. He died precisely the same moment that the priests were in the temple and killed the Passover lamb. It was a Wednesday. The first day of Passover is ALWAYS a Sabbath.
He was in the tomb 3 nights and 3 days and rose after sundown on Sabbath (Saturday). The women didn't go to the tomb until the next morning because it was forbidden to go there on Sabbath. When they arrived, He was gone. The stone was rolled away.
This is fact. There were many, many eye witnesses to His death and resurrection.

Ok so you have seen some of the answers and I am going to re-iterate what some people have said and then add somethings as well.
I'll start by telling you that "Good friday" is not anywhere in the bible. It is strictly a catholic thing along with lent and many others. It was probably popularized by the roman empire to compete with a pagan holiday of the same period, like the date of christmas probably was.
If you kept reading the bible, instead of islamic websites that "answer christianity" you would have found something in the new testament pertaining to 2 important things. Jesus said sun-up is 12 hours and sun-down is 12 hours which makes one day equal to 24 hours. He was dead for 3 days (72 hours) and resurrected. That is what the bible says.
The bible also says that he was killed before sundown on the day before the sabbath. The bible says he resurrected before sundown on the sabbath. I can see how this confusing to many. History points to the annual passover sabbath taking place the same time Jesus was killed. The annual passover sabbath is held 2 days before the weekly sabbath which is on a saturday, which makes the annual passover sabbath on a thursday.
So, according to the bible, many historical documents, and historical Jewish tradition, Jesus was killed before sundown on the day before the passover sabbath (Wednesday) and was resurrected before sundown on the weekly sabbath (Saturday).
before sundown on wednesday --to-- before sundown on saturday equals a full 72 hours.
He died on Wednesday. The confusion comes because of the impending Sabbath. But it wasn't the weekly Sabbath, but a High Sabbath. That was connected with the Passover, and it began at sundown on Wednesday. Therefore, all the bodies had to be off the crosses by sundown on Wednesday. Thus Jesus was in the tomb three full days and three full nights, just as He stated He would be.
Check the NT... it states clearly that this was a High Sabbath. That's not the same as the weekly Sabbath.
Jesus reported He might upward thrust lower back the third day. i think that Jesus exchange into crucified on a Friday. right here is why: It exchange into undemanding prepare for the Jews to contemplate even element of an afternoon as an entire day. Jesus exchange into crucified on Friday no later than midday by way of fact on an identical time as Jesus exchange into on the circulate the Bible says there exchange into darkness from the 6th to the 9th hour which could be midday to 3 pm. Later interior the passage in Luke 23:fifty 4, it says "And that day exchange into the educational, and the sabbath drew on." Now, their day ended at 6pm while the 12 hour evening era began, for that reason beginning up the Sabbath, which exchange into Friday 6pm to Saturday 6pm. we've lined Friday, day and evening (day a million), All day Saturday(day 2). financial disaster 24 and verse a million says: Now upon the 1st day of the week......... that is Sunday, the day wherein Jesus arose, making the third day.(undergo in strategies that the Jews counted element of the day is counted an entire day) by way of fact of this i think Jesus exchange into crucified on a Friday
Jesus died on a Wednesday and rose on Day one of the Sabbaton, which is our modern day Saturday at sunset. In Gen. 1, the bible says, there was evening, then morning, day one.
According to the Bible, when Jesus died, they needed to take him from the cross before sundown which was the start of the Sabbath, or he would have had to stay on the cross until the Sabbath was over. The Jewish Sabbath starts Friday night at sundown and continues until Saturday night at nightfall.
Do the days of the week really matter though, as they aren't even mentioned in any verse? They obviously didn't matter to anyone then.
Jesus died on a friday (one) Saturday (two), Sunday (three)
when it talks about from 6-9 it's talking about 6-9 in the morning, if it had been 6-9 at night it would have been the 18th hour. From 6-9 a.m. the sky was dark, because God's son was dying. In Luke 24 it talks about them coming on the first day of the week (Sunday) and His body being gone.
That's why we call it Good Friday (Good overcame Evil) and Easter Sunday (wind from the east) then look up bible verses with the east wind or wind of the east in them. It's pretty amazing.
He died Wed, which was the day the passover lamb was killed, the preparation day before the first Sabbath of Unleavened bread. He rose about sundown at the close of the weekly Sabbath.
Probably Wednesday.
i get confused with the dates. Isn't the Jewish calender more accurate ?
