Events of Crucifixtion

Surrounding the Crucifixion
Y’Shua’s last meal was Wednesday night, and He was crucified on Thursday, the 14th of the Jewish month Nisan. The Passover meal itself was eaten Thursday night, at sundown, as the 15th of Nisan began.
The Jewish day starts at 6 P.M., so after sundown on Friday it is already Saturday. Y’Shua did not get to eat that Passover meal for He had died at 3 P.M. on Thursday.
Gentiles assumed the reference to the Sabbath had to be Saturday – so they figured the crucifixion must have been on a Friday. Not knowing the history that a Passover is a High Sabbath, no matter what week day it falls on. In the year A.D. 30, Friday the 15th of Nisan was also a Sabbath – so there was two Sabbaths occurring back to back.
The women who visited Y’Shua’s tomb came early Sunday morning (which to us would have been Saturday evening after sundown) and the two Sabbaths were over. (Matt. 28:1).
So He was in the tomb for three days, rose on the third day (after sundown on Saturday since it was considered Sunday to them, and the first day of the week.
The original Sabbath G-d had installed to be honored was still the same, He never changed it to be Sunday for His word does not change to suit our traditions but His that He set down for us.
