I've read in the internet which say : *Jesus crucified on Wednesday, not Friday * But then the explanation paragraph in that page confused me. > the Passover meal was eaten on Tuesday night and Wednesday sundown > marked the beginning of the "high day" Next paragraph on the page : > Jesus, then, was crucified and entombed on a Wednesday afternoon, not > on Friday. I break those two paragraphs into like this :
- (A) the Passover meal was eaten on Tuesday night - (B) Wednesday sundown marked the beginning of the "high day" - (C) Jesus was crucified and entombed on a Wednesday afternoon Another quote from the same page : > Genesis 1:5 tells us quite plainly that God counts a day as beginning > with the evening So I make a chart about the days mentioned in A, B and C according to what the article say, something like this : So, the thing which confused me, the article say that The High Day is on Wednesday and Jesus was crucified also in Wednesday. But from the chart, I thought the article should say that Jesus was crucified on Tuesday afternoon, around a few hours before Wednesday (where Wednesday is the High Day / High Sabbath). Am I missing something here ? So I hope there is someone here from The United Church of God (or anyone who happen to know The UCD teaching) who can explain it to me. ---------- After seeing the chart from Ray.... On the 2nd day of the week:
Last Supper. To make it easier, say that the Last Supper happen at 8pm, not long after the 2nd day of the week begin. Around 3pm on the 3rd day of the week, Jesus died. My conclusion : According to the UCG, the time span from the Last Supper to the death of Christ is more than 24 hours (as seen in the chart). Please CMIIW. ---------- I just found out that the UCG's chart from Ray is from 2021 article , which say the Last Supper happen at Tuesday evening. This chart led me to get a conclusion like above. Coincidently, I've found another UCG's chart which is from 2013 article , which say that the Last Supper happen at Wednesday evening. This chart show that the Last Supper, the trial, crucifixion and time of death, all happen in the same day, which is Wednesday where Wednesday begin at sunset.
