Did Jesus die on the day they killed the paschal lamb?

[TonyChanYT]

I don't think so.

John 19:

14 Now it was the day of Preparation of the Passover. It was about the sixth hour. He [Pilate] said to the Jews, “Behold your King!”

the day of Preparation
Παρασκευὴ (Paraskeuē)
Noun - Nominative Feminine Singular
Strong's 3904: The day of preparation, the day before the Sabbath, Friday. As if from paraskeuazo; readiness.

That was a Friday before the Sabbath during the multi-days Passover Festival, not the day they killed the paschal lamb.

Later verse confirmed this:

31Since it was the day of Preparation, and so that the bodies would not remain on the cross on the Sabbath (for that Sabbath was a high day), the Jews asked Pilate that their legs might be broken and that they might be taken away.

Gill:

for that sabbath day was an high day; it was not only a sabbath, and a sabbath in the passover week.

BDAG σάββατον:

① the seventh day of the week in Israel’s calendar, marked by rest fr. work and by special religious ceremonies, sabbath

ⓐ sing.

σάββατον μέγα Great Sabbath MPol 8:1; 21:1; cp. J 19:31b

BDAG classified this high Sabbath day as a weekly Saturday.

The Jews wanted to finish the work before the Sabbath.

41Now in the place where he was crucified there was a garden, and in the garden a new tomb in which no one had yet been laid. 42 So because of the Jewish day of Preparation, since the tomb was close at hand, they laid Jesus there.

Did Jesus die on the day they killed the paschal lamb?

Jesus died on a Friday. He ate the Paschal lamb before he was crucified.

Why do brethren keep trying to push the events of Lord Jesus' crucifixion week into the western Gregorian calendar reckoning? The Jews used the Hebrew calendar reckoning, which means the day began from sunset to the following sunset.

Following the Hebrew calendar, which is a requirement of the Scripture, makes it impossible... for Jesus to have been crucified on a Friday. The Friday crucifixion idea is simply a tradition of men. Jesus was crucified on a Wednesday, the preparation day, at evening, just prior to sunset which would begin the first day of the feast which was to be reckoned as a "high day" (a high sabbath).

Per God's passover requirement in Exodus 12, the passover lamb was to be sacrificed on the preparation day, specifically at evening, the 14th of Nissan. And the children of Israel were to eat it that night, which The LORD's passover thus began at sunset just after the evening sacrifice.

The other requirement in the calculation, based from Exodus 12:16 that many forget is that the "first day" is to be a "holy convocation" (i.e., a sabbath). That is the 'sabbath' which John 19:31 also confirms, that the first day of passover was to be a "high day" (a sabbath). IT DOES NOT MEAN THE REGULAR WEEKLY FRIDAY SABBATH.

John 19:31
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.
KJV

Time and time again I see folks arguing over that "high day", but most brethren just disregarding it, because the idea that the 'sabbath' MUST always mean a Friday evening to Saturday evening is anchored in their minds. Sorry, but God's requirement for Israel was the first day of the feast was to be a "holy convocation" with no work done, meaning a 'sabbath'. Thusly... crucifixion week had TWO SABBATHS that week, not just the regular one.

And yet another requirement per Bible Scripture is with Jesus declaring His body would be in the tomb for literally "three days and three nights". That means the 12 daylight hours for the idea of a "day", and the 12 night hours for a "night", making up one 24 hr. calendar day.

And we know for sure when Jesus resurrected and appeared, that being sometime on Sunday, as He was seen Sunday morning. So all one need do is count backwards from Sunday, but using the Hebrew calendar reckoning for a day, sunset to sunset. Then one can know for sure what day was Nissan 14th when Jesus was crucified at evening on the preparation day just before passover began at sunset.

1. Wednesday evening prior to sunset, 14th Nissan = Jesus died on the cross, just prior to sunset, the countdown begins at sunset on the first day of the feast. They rushed to bury the body of Lord Jesus before sunset, because at sunset began Thursday, a "high day" (sabbath), the first day of the feast.

2. Wednesday sunset began Thursday (sunset began the first day of the feast, a "high day", a Sabbath). So Thursday sunset to Thursday morning = 1st night.

3. Thursday morning to Thursday sunset = 1st day.

4. Thursday sunset began Friday. So Friday sunset to Friday morning = 2nd night
.
5. Friday morning to Friday sunset = 2nd day. (Friday at sunset begins the regular weekly sabbath. Two sabbaths that week.)

6. Friday sunset began Saturday. So Saturday sunset to Saturday morning = 3rd night.

7. Saturday morning to Saturday sunset = 3rd day. (3 days and 3 nights completed).

8. Saturday sunset began Sunday, Jesus rose sometime in the night, and appeared Sunday morning.

Jesus and his men ate their Passover dinner the night of his arrest.

Matt 26:17-20
Mark 14:12-17
Luke 22:7-15

The Jews ate their Passover after he was dead and buried.

John 13:1-2
John 18:28-29
John 19:13-14
John 19:31

The Jews were somehow unaware that their religious calendar was tardy the
year that Christ was crucified. He, being a prophet in direct contact with
God, would of course have known the precise moment that Passover that
year was supposed to begin; which is no doubt at least one of the reasons
why Christ ate his own Passover before the Jews ate theirs.

Ironically, the Jews were careful to avoid going after Jesus during Passover.

"Then the chief priests and the elders of the people assembled in the palace
of the high priest, whose name was Caiaphas, and they plotted to arrest
Jesus in some sly way and kill him. But not during the feast-- they said --or
there may be a riot among the people." (Matt 26:3-5)

Due to their religious calendar's error, the Jews inadvertently put Jesus to
death during the very season they wanted to avoid. So as it turns out: while
the Jews were killing their lambs in preparation for dinner that night, the
Romans were busy killing the lamb of God.

Yes, on the Thursday afternoon before the Passover feast on the Friday.

Ag jaa. Ach NO! The old (or definitely not so old but as recent as the previous century) great Kabal of error and heresy from start to finish. God help me that I can keep on and destroy this falsity.

There it stands Written as clear and unambiguous and as simple as the days of the week are counted from the First Day to the Seventh Day-of-the-week and Sabbath of the LORD GOD---John 19:14 "It was the Preparation OF THE PASSOVER six o'clock the morning" as they led Jesus away from the praetorium "to be crucified" IN UNMISTAKABLE UNDOUBTABLE CONTRADISTINCTION, BEFORE "EVENING HAVING HAD COME ALREADY SINCE THE PREPARATION HAD HAD BEGUN" Mark 15:42 Matthew 27:57 Luke 23:50 JOHN 19:31,38.
But because the SUNDAY worshippers Baur Ginrich Aland and whosoever else COMPLOTTED Christ HAD to be Crucified and HAD to Die on Friday IN ORDER THAT HE HAD TO RISE AGAING ON SUNDAY, they raped God's Word for their own, satanic DECEPTION of God's People.

Jesus and his men ate their Passover dinner the night of his arrest.

Matt 26:17-20
Mark 14:12-17
Luke 22:7-15

And that was the 14th of Nissan, also the same day Jesus was later crucified per the passover requirement of Exodus 12:6, 12:8, and 12:18. What many forget is that was per the Hebrew calendar reckoning, so the 14th started at sunset. After sunset the first day of unleavened bread began at sunset, they then ate the passover per the Exodus 12 requirement in that same night, and then sometime in the night Jesus was delivered up.

 

[Wick Stick]

How sure are we that the Jew's reckoning of the calendar was correct?

I trust God to have gotten the day right more than I trust the Pharisees' timekeeping.

MUCH to agree on ... much in agreement with the post below yours, a post also MUCH is to be agreed with.

Reason for hope

 

[quietthinker]

Did Jesus die on the day they killed the paschal lamb?​

Did they kill it or did it get away......when the curtain was torn top to bottom?
