Well, let us see, the pass over was on the Friday, so the day of preparation for the Passover was Thursday, which is also the day that Christ died.
What clue is given in the Gospels to confirm this? John 12:1 confirms this fact. Jesus arrives at Bethany 6 days before the Passover. He was in Jericho on the Friday having lunch at Zacchaeus before he sets off to walk up towards Jerusalem in the late afternoon and probably just before the sun set, heralding the start of the Sabbath Day, he arrived at Bethany. Six days after the Jesus arrived at Bethany, the Passover feast was to be celebrated on the Friday. This then make the Friday a High Sabbath day and a day of rest for the nation of Israel.
This then means that Jesus was crucified on the Thursday.
In the other thread on the Three days, I posted an attachment that arranges the gospel accounts into chronological order which I put together over 10 years ago to satisfy myself as to how the events leading up to the cross unfolded. The attachment might help this discussion as well.
Shalom
