[Mark 14:12 KJV] "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? **************this is Nissan 14th. For a Wednesday crucifixion this has to be a Tuesday.

[Matthew 26:20 KJV] "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve."
[Matthew 26:21 KJV] "And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me."************ This would still be Tuesday. Jesus ate the Passover seder Tuesday night. This could be Tuesday or Wednesday. If they ate after sunset it would be Wednesday.

[Luke 22:66 KJV] "And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,"
[Luke 22:67 KJV] "Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"****************** as soon as it was day would mean this is a Wednesday One way or another, there had to be a Tuesday sunset, which would end Tuesday and start Wednesday. For Jews, a day was from sunset to sunset.

[Matthew 27:35 KJV] "And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots."
[Mark 15:25 KJV] "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.".************** This would be Wednesday

[Matthew 27:50 KJV] "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." ************** Wednesday around 3pm

[Mark 15:42 KJV] "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"
[Luke 23:54 KJV] "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on."
[Luke 23:56 KJV] "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."**********here we have a problem. Preparation day was the day before the weekly Saturday sabbath, but this isn't a Friday, it's only Wednesday, nearing sunset, or it's after sunset, and is now the start of Thursday.

If Jesus was placed in the tomb Wednesday before sunset, then he was in the tomb for ONE DAY, but NOT ONE NIGHT as well, because a Wednesday sunset in the tomb would be the start of THURSDAY. If Jesus was placed in the tomb after a Wednesday sunset, then it would be the start of THURSDAY. Jesus would maybe in the tomb for ONE DAY, if he was placed in the tomb Wednesday BEFORE SUNSET, BUT NOT ONE NIGHT. This could be THE FIRST DAY if Jesus was placed in the tomb before Wednesday's sunset.

It is now THURSDAY and Jesus would be in the tomb starting at Wednesday's sunset until Thursday's sunset. This is either the FIRST DAY OR THE SECOND DAY, AND THE FIRST NIGHT.

It is now Friday and Jesus would be in the tomb from Thursday's sunset until Thursday's sunset. This is either the SECOND DAY, or the THIRD DAY, and the SECOND NIGHT.

It is now Saturday and Jesus would be in the tomb from Friday's sunset until Saturday's sunset. This is either the THIRD DAY or the FOURTH DAY, and the THIRD NIGHT.

We now have to consider if a Wednesday crucifixion works out scripturally************* [Matthew 12:40 KJV] "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth." ************Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights.
[Matthew 17:23 KJV] "And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry.".************Jesus said he would rise the third day.

With a Wednesday crucifixion, we have either THREE OR FOUR DAYS, AND THREE NIGHTS. The problem is Jesus said he would rise the THIRD DAY. According to a Wednesday crucifixion, we MAY HAVE THREE DAYS AND THREE NIGHTS, BUT WE HAVE JESUS RISING ON FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

[Mark 16:9 KJV] "Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils." ************Jesus was raised SUNDAY early in the morning, NOT A FRIDAY OR SATURDAY.

[Zechariah 14:1 KJV] "Behold, the day of the LORD cometh, and thy spoil shall be divided in the midst of thee."
[Zechariah 14:2 KJV] "For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city."
[Zechariah 14:3 KJV] "Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle."*************** Here is what the prophets say in regard to the day of the LORD***************[Joel 2:31 KJV] "The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come."
[Isaiah 13:10 KJV] "For the stars of heaven and the constellations thereof shall not give their light: the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine."***************The day of the LORD will be recognized by these cosmic events.************[Matthew 24:29 KJV] "Immediately after the tribulation of those days shall the sun be darkened, and the moon shall not give her light, and the stars shall fall from heaven, and the powers of the heavens shall be shaken:"
[Matthew 24:30 KJV] "And then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven: and then shall all the tribes of the earth mourn, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven with power and great glory."******************The coming of the Lord Jesus Christ will occur at the end of the tribulation. His coming is the day of the LORD as evidenced by the celestial signs.*****************[Joel 3:2 KJV] "I will also gather all nations, and will bring them down into the valley of Jehoshaphat, and will plead with them there for my people and [for] my heritage Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations, and parted my land."
[Joel 3:12 KJV] "Let the heathen be wakened, and come up to the valley of Jehoshaphat: for there will I sit to judge all the heathen round about."
[Joel 3:14 KJV] "Multitudes, multitudes in the valley of decision: for the day of the LORD [is] near in the valley of decision."
[Joel 3:15 KJV] "The sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining."
[Revelation 16:14 KJV] "For they are the spirits of devils, working miracles, [which] go forth unto the kings of the earth and of the whole world, to gather them to the battle of that great day of God Almighty."
[Revelation 16:16 KJV] "And he gathered them together into a place called in the Hebrew tongue Armageddon."
[Revelation 19:19 KJV] "And I saw the beast, and the kings of the earth, and their armies, gathered together to make war against him that sat on the horse, and against his army."
[Revelation 19:21 KJV] "And the remnant were slain with the sword of him that sat upon the horse, which [sword] proceeded out of his mouth: and all the fowls were filled with their flesh."******************Christ's coming and the day of the LORD initiates Armageddon. The Lord Jesus Christ destroys the armies that come against Jerusalem and against Christ. ***********************[Zechariah 14:4 KJV] "And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which [is] before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, [and there shall be] a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south." ********************** After defeating the armies the Lord Jesus Christ touches his feet down on the mount of Olives.

It is said that Peter and the other apostles preached the one and only gospel in the Bible. They preached the death and resurrection of Christ for eternal salvation for all. This isn't upheld by this passage***************[John 20:7 KJV] "And the napkin, that was about his head, not lying with the linen clothes, but wrapped together in a place by itself."
[John 20:8 KJV] "Then went in also that other disciple, which came first to the sepulchre, and he saw, and believed."
[John 20:9 KJV] "For as yet they knew not the scripture, that he must rise again from the dead."**********They couldn't preach a gospel of the resurrection without believing it or knowing the scriptures.

HERE IS A DETAILED STUDY OF THE THURSDAY CRUCIFIXION OF CHRIST

[Matthew 26:17 KJV] "Now the first [day] of the [feast of] unleavened bread the disciples came to Jesus, saying unto him, Where wilt thou that we prepare for thee to eat the passover?"........ this is WEDNESDAY the 14th of Nissan/Abib Passover day. This is the preparation day for the Passover feast

[Mark 14:12 KJV] "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?"......this is WEDNESDAY Nissan 14th.The Passover lamb was killed the first day of the feast of unleavened bread. The lamb was killed around 2pm or 3pm.

[Matthew 26:20 KJV] "Now when the even was come, he sat down with the twelve."
[Matthew 26:21 KJV] "And as they did eat, he said, Verily I say unto you, that one of you shall betray me.".........This is WEDNESDAY evening Nissan 14th evening. This is "the last supper" There is debate as to whether they ate the Passover meal on Wednesday evening or Thursday morning; a Jewish day ends at evening, which is the start of the next day, which in this case would be Thursday.

[Matthew 26:34 KJV] "Jesus said unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this night, before the **** crow, thou shalt deny me thrice."
[Mark 14:30 KJV] "And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, [even] in this night, before the **** crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice.".........I think we are now into THURSDAY. Thursday would have started when Wednesday evening ended, which coincided with the Passover meal.

[Matthew 26:36 KJV] "Then cometh Jesus with them unto a place called Gethsemane, and saith unto the disciples, Sit ye here, while I go and pray yonder."......This is THURSDAY

[Matthew 26:57 KJV] "And they that had laid hold on Jesus led [him] away to Caiaphas the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were assembled."
[Luke 22:66 KJV] "And as soon as it was day, the elders of the people and the chief priests and the scribes came together, and led him into their council, saying,"
[Luke 22:67 KJV] "Art thou the Christ? tell us. And he said unto them, If I tell you, ye will not believe:"...........This is THURSDAY morning

[Matthew 27:1 KJV] "When the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death:"
[Matthew 27:2 KJV] "And when they had bound him, they led [him] away, and delivered him to Pontius Pilate the governor."......this is THURSDAY morning

[Matthew 27:15 KJV] "Now at [that] feast the governor was wont to release unto the people a prisoner, whom they would."
[Mark 15:6 KJV] "Now at [that] feast he released unto them one prisoner, whomsoever they desired."
[John 18:39 KJV] "But ye have a custom, that I should release unto you one at the passover: will ye therefore that I release unto you the King of the Jews?"........The timeframe is still THURSDAY.

[Matthew 27:35 KJV] "And they crucified him, and parted his garments, casting lots: that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet, They parted my garments among them, and upon my vesture did they cast lots."
[Mark 15:25 KJV] "And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.".......This is THURSDAY at 9am

[Matthew 27:45 KJV] "Now from the sixth hour there was darkness over all the land unto the ninth hour."........This is noon on THURSDAY

[Matthew 27:46 KJV] "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani? that is to say, My God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me?"........This is 3pm on THURSDAY

[Matthew 27:50 KJV] "Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost."........THURSDAY around 3pm

[Matthew 27:57 KJV] "When the even was come, there came a rich man of Arimathaea, named Joseph, who also himself was Jesus' disciple:"
[Matthew 27:58 KJV] "He went to Pilate, and begged the body of Jesus. Then Pilate commanded the body to be delivered."
[Matthew 27:59 KJV] "And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth,"
[Matthew 27:60 KJV] "And laid it in his own new tomb, which he had hewn out in the rock: and he rolled a great stone to the door of the sepulchre, and departed."
[Matthew 27:61 KJV] "And there was Mary Magdalene, and the other Mary, sitting over against the sepulchre."
[Mark 15:42 KJV] "And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the sabbath,"
[Luke 23:54 KJV] "And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on."
[Luke 23:56 KJV] "And they returned, and prepared spices and ointments; and rested the sabbath day according to the commandment."
[John 19:31 KJV] "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and [that] they might be taken away."............It is now FRIDAY, the day of preparation for the Saturday sabbath. Preparation day for the Jews started the day before the sabbath, starting the end of Thursday at night, which was the beginning of Friday. It ended Friday night.
John says in John 19:31 that the Saturday sabbath was a high day, This high day was a double Sabbath, combining the regular weekly Sabbath with the Passover festival.

[Matthew 27:62 KJV] "Now the next day, that followed the day of the preparation, the chief priests and Pharisees came together unto Pilate,"...........The day of preparation would be FRIDAY, the next day that followed FRIDAY would be SATURDAY.     
[John 19:42 KJV] "There laid they Jesus therefore because of the Jews' preparation [day]; for the sepulchre was nigh at hand."..........The preparation day was FRIDAY. The next day that followed the preparation day would be SATURDAY.

[Matthew 27:66 KJV] "So they went, and made the sepulchre sure, sealing the stone, and setting a watch."........this is SATURDAY

[Matthew 28:1 KJV] "In the end of the sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first [day] of the week, came Mary Magdalene and the other Mary to see the sepulchre."........in the end of the Saturday sabbath, as it began to be dawn toward the first day of the week would be SUNDAY.
[Mark 16:1 KJV] "And when the sabbath was past, Mary Magdalene, and Mary the [mother] of James, and Salome, had bought sweet spices, that they might come and anoint him."
[Mark 16:2 KJV] "And very early in the morning the first [day] of the week, they came unto the sepulchre at the rising of the sun."
[Luke 24:1 KJV] "Now upon the first [day] of the week, very early in the morning, they came unto the sepulchre, bringing the spices which they had prepared, and certain [others] with them."
[John 20:1 KJV] "The first [day] of the week cometh Mary Magdalene early, when it was yet dark, unto the sepulchre, and seeth the stone taken away from the sepulchre."........They came to an empty tomb early morning SUNDAY.

[Mark 16:9 KJV] "Now when [Jesus] was risen early the first [day] of the week, he appeared first to Mary Magdalene, out of whom he had cast seven devils."........Jesus rose early morning on SUNDAY.

[John 20:19 KJV] "Then the same day at evening, being the first [day] of the week, when the doors were shut where the disciples were assembled for fear of the Jews, came Jesus and stood in the midst, and saith unto them, Peace [be] unto you."........Jesus appeared to the disciples on SUNDAY evening.

I posted how Christ wasn't crucified on "Good Friday" as church tradition teaches; Christ was crucified on Wednesday.
Here is my post:

WAS JESUS CRUCIFIED ON A WEDNESDAY?

Here are excerpts from an article on Good Friday:

Good Friday falls during Holy Week, which is timed according to the spring equinox. The equinox — when day and night are perfectly balanced — was a sacred period for pagans, marking the official arrival of spring. Ancient Europeans and Middle Easterners alike held festivals at this time, celebrating the Earth’s renewal and the return of the sun’s strength.

The early Church had a cunning strategy for converting pagans: adapt rather than abolish. They overlaid Christian meanings onto existing festivals, rituals, and stories to make the transition smoother for converts. Good Friday is part of that tapestry, intertwined with older, earthier rhythms of life and death.

Upon reflection I ended up thinking of Good Friday the same way I think of Christmas. Christmas has pagan roots, but I don't participate in pagan beliefs by celebrating Christmas. During Christmas, as well as Good Friday Christ is proclaimed.

I included the excerpt of the article to show that that Good Friday may not be a Biblical holiday.

The main point to consider is it Biblical to propagate Good Friday as the day Christ was crucified,

[Genesis 1:5 KJV] "And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day."
[Genesis 1:8 KJV] "And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.".........For Israel a day starts at evening and continues thru daylight. At the end of daylight, evening starts the next day.

[Matthew 12:40 KJV] "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth.".............Jesus said he would be in the tomb three days and three nights.
[Matthew 17:23 KJV] "And they shall kill him, and the third day he shall be raised again. And they were exceeding sorry."............Jesus said he would rise the third day.

Before we proceed how do we know that our Friday corresponds to the same day as the Jews. For the Jews Friday is the sixth day of the week, Saturday the seventh and Sunday the first day of the week (Matthew 28:1).

Now let's see if a Friday crucifixion adheres to Jesus being in the tomb three days and three nights.

Thursday evening thru daytime is Friday, Christ is said to be crucified during the daytime hours of Friday. Jesus is in the tomb at evening,

Friday evening thru daytime is Saturday the first evening and the first day in the tomb.

Saturday evening thru daytime is Sunday the second evening and the second day in the tomb

Sunday evening thru daytime is Monday the third evening and the third day. This means Jesus rose Monday evening. This is three days and three nights in the tomb. Monday would be the third day

Jesus could not have been crucified on Friday.
