The preparation of the poassover was wednesday! The preparation spoken of by the priests and Scripture is the preparationf for the feast of unleavened bread!
If it was the preparation of the passover, the priests wqould have had no time to prance around Pilates court, Herods court and the council. They would have been at the altar slaughtering thousands of lambs so people could go home to prepare the seder! Sorry but nice try!
Luke 23: 54 And that day was the preparation, and the sabbath drew on.
And that day was THE preparation and Saturday drew on ! they di dnot cll high days Sabbath days until centuries later!
John 19:31
King James Version
31 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.
John shows it was Friday because he singles out that Sabbath day- as a high day!
Most of the priests may have been unsaved, but the day before passover was a huge day for them! They had loads of priests and the high priest at the altar slaughtering lambs for the passover!

We have four Gospels, and we have ONE day's night in all four Gospels stipulated as per literal time indicating words and phrases, in this 'image'. Would you agree the conclusion to be correct and true in core, essence and detail, literally? So that if we tore out these four passages we would have torn out ONE day's night RECORD?
I'm sure you will agree. Fine, then I have to ask you:
First, You write, this Day's Night was <the day before passover>?
Then why is it written "
the first day they killed the passover on"?
Was "
the first day they killed the passover on" not <
passover>?
It was. If you have any doubt it was, read 2Chronicles 35. To mention only one of MANY Scriptures to the same effect.
But for now I would like to ask you, because you say Jesus Our Passover was killed on Wednesday, 3PM on the 14th day of the month Abib? Don't you say?
You write that <
The preparation spoken of by the priests and Scripture is the preparationf for the feast of unleavened bread!> Now I could not agree with you more...or less! Because certainly they could not EAT before they KILLED the passover? Correct!
IN THIS NIGHT THOUGH they ate, but they still had not killed the Passover because in that year the Passover was "Our Passover" "the Passover Lamb of God"! Correct!
Now Mr Nolette, Does this mean ONE NIGHT, THIS DAY'S NIGHT, was the one BEFORE Jesus died?
Was THIS night the first halve PART OF THE DAY on which they killed Our Passover the Passover Lamb of God?
In case you might not be sure, read those four pages and count the instances where "THIS NIGHT" is called in WRITING: "TO-DAY", "THIS NIGHT", "it was NIGHT - THE DAY BEFORE THE FEAST"?
Then Mr Nolette, how many of the "three nights" are LEFT?
So ok, You have it Jesus died on Wednesday, so we're speaking of the night of Tuesday, do we not? Is time reversible? For sure it's not! Tuesday night the first night GONE!
So Wednesday night must be the second night and on Thursday morning it must be the second day of the "three days" left. And the third night HAS to be the Thursday night and Friday morning be the third day --- Wait wait wait! The third day of which or what? The third day of THE "three days" "according to the Scriptures?"
According to the Scriptures then Jesus rose on Friday as per 3PM "mid-afternoon the Sabbath nearing" as per Luke 23:54 and John 19:42?
On your life! For was not Jesus then first BURIED?
But most important now, HOW MANY PAGES are of the Gospels left after the said verses Luke 23:54 and John 19:42 and Jesus was raised from the grave AND DID APPEAR THE DAY AFTER?
There is the night and its day which started when the women started to rest the Sabbath according to the Fourth Commandments from Luke 23:56b--day four. And there is the night and its day the day after the Sabbath was over" from Mark 16:1 on also referred to by John in John 19:10,11 on-- day five. And the night that belonged with or to the First Day of the week when Jesus "early on the First Day appeared risen" or "raised" or "as the Risen One, first to Mary Magdalene" John 19:17 Mark 16:9-- day six!
No wonder some say He rose "after" three days! According to you - who say He rose just after sunset Saturday, Jesus needed FIVE NIGHTS AND SIX DAYS AND ON THE SIXTH NIGHT-OF-DAY HAD TO RISE.
