Passover

IESOUS did not suffer a fast-track-trial & crucifixion, but died on day 6 of Passover. This might be the boldest claim you have heard in a long time, but upon a study of the paper 'CHRISTOS IESOUS 〣 Passover Chronology · Refutation of Fast-Track Trial' you will quickly see the following conditions leading to this precise conclusion:

  1. IESOUS definitely ate the Passover Lamb in the evening of Abib (Nisan) 14th. Mat 26:17, 20
  2. IESOUS died on a 'Day of Preparation'. Joh 19:31
  3. IESOUS remained 3 days in the tomb (~6 hrs after sunset + 24 hrs + 24 hrs + ~6 hrs until sunrise). Mat 12:40
  4. IESOUS remained 3 nights in the tomb. Mat 12:40
  5. IESOUS remained during 2 consecutive Sabbaths in the tomb (1 Sabbath of Sabbaths & 1 Weekly Sabbath), which is clearly proven by the burial spices purchased in between. Luk 24:1-21, Joh 19:31
  6. IESOUS resurrected on the first day after the Sabbath (modern Sunday). Luk 24:1-2
  7. IESOUS resurrected at the dawn of the third day -since- His crucifixion. Luk 24:2-21
  8. His resurrection must have coincided with the return travel of the visitors -after- the Passover week. IESOUS did -NOT- appear to two unfaithful travelers who left the Passover one entire week too early. Luk 24:13-21
  9. IESOUS taught "every day in the Temple" (a wording which means at least 3 times from Abib 11th (Tue); Abib 10th only with a brief visit). Luk 19:47
  10. The First Day of the Month follows the New Moon ('Waxing Crescent').
  11. IESOUS died after Judas (logically no resurrection while Judas was still decaying on the open field).
  12. The 3 non-Jewish trials could be held without touching the idolatrous day of 'Ides' on Abib 15th, when political and judicial activities were strictly prohibited for both Pilate and Herod.
  13. At least one night must have legally passed before the death sentence was carried out.
  14. His body must have been taken down before sunset. Deut 21:22-23, Jos 10:26-27
  15. The women purchased burial spices after the first Sabbath was over (the markets opened in the evening) and prepared those before the second Sabbath started the next morning. Mar 16:1, Luk 23:55-56
  16. IESOUS died during Passover in order to typify the LAMB. This typology does not require His death on the evening of the Passover Lamb, but anytime during the 7 days. Joh 1:29, 1Cor 5:6-8
  17. IESOUS must have resurrected between the Wave Sheaf Offering (Abib 23th according to Beta Israel; usually assumed with Abib 16th) and the Feast of Harvest (+ 50 days) in order to typify the First Fruit. 1Cor 15:20
  18. IESOUS resurrected -after- the Feast of Unleavened Bread in order to typify the Bread of Life. Mat 13:33
  19. IESOUS must have logically resurrected after the 'time of affliction' what the unleavened bread specifically stood for. Deut 16:3

Those conditions have never been fulfilled by any known Bible study, but are fulfilled in its entirety by the following study.
