The Biblical Chronology of Jesus Christ`s Crucifixion and Resurrection
<p>
<b>Tuesday April 24, 31AD:</b><br>
Jesus Christ ate an evening Passover meal with His disciples (at the beginning of Nisan 14, biblical reckoning) and instituted the New Covenant symbols (Matthew 26:26-28). Jesus was then betrayed by Judas, arrested and during the night brought before the high priest.
<p>
<b>Wednesday April 25, 31AD - Passover:</b><br>
Jesus was crucified and died around 3 p.m. (Matthew 27:46-50). This was the preparation day for the annual, not weekly, Sabbath, which began at sunset (Mark 15:42; Luke 23:54; John 19:31). Jesus` body was placed in the tomb just before sunset (Matthew 27:57-60).
<p>
<b>Thursday April 26, 31AD:</b><br>
This was the high-day Sabbath, the first day of Unleavened Bread (John 19:31; Leviticus 23:4-7). It is described as the day after the "Day of Preparation" (Matthew 27:62).
<p>
<b>Friday April 27, 31AD:</b><br>
The high-day Sabbath now past, the women bought and prepared spices for anointing Jesus` body before resting on the weekly Sabbath day, which began at Friday sunset (Mark 16:1; Luke 23:56).
<p>
<b>Saturday April 28, 31AD:</b><br>
The women rested on the weekly Sabbath, according to the Fourth Commandment (Luke 23:56; Exodus 20:8-11). Jesus rose near sunset, exactly three days and three nights after burial, fulfilling the sign of Jonah and authenticating the sign He gave of His messiah-ship.
<p>
<b>Sunday April 29, 31AD - Resurrection_Day :</b><br>
The women brought the prepared spices early in the morning while it was still dark (Luke 24:1; John 20:1), finding that Jesus had already risen (Matthew 28:1-6; Mark 16:2-6; Luke 24:2-3; John 20:1). He did not rise on Sunday morning, but near sunset the day before.
