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:
- IESOUS definitely ate the Passover Lamb in the evening of Abib (Nisan) 14th. Mat 26:17, 20
- IESOUS died on a 'Day of Preparation'. Joh 19:31
- IESOUS remained 3 days in the tomb (~6 hrs after sunset + 24 hrs + 24 hrs + ~6 hrs until sunrise). Mat 12:40
- IESOUS remained 3 nights in the tomb. Mat 12:40
- 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
- IESOUS resurrected on the first day after the Sabbath (modern Sunday). Luk 24:1-2
- IESOUS resurrected at the dawn of the third day -since- His crucifixion. Luk 24:2-21
- 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
- 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
- The First Day of the Month follows the New Moon ('Waxing Crescent').
- IESOUS died after Judas (logically no resurrection while Judas was still decaying on the open field).
- 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.
- At least one night must have legally passed before the death sentence was carried out.
- His body must have been taken down before sunset. Deut 21:22-23, Jos 10:26-27
- 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
- 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
- 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
- IESOUS resurrected -after- the Feast of Unleavened Bread in order to typify the Bread of Life. Mat 13:33
- 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.
