reasons include a special or high Sabbath. The word Sabbath means rest.

Which day or which year Jesus died many experts disagree, but all agree between 26thAD - 36thAD which are the years Pilate was Roman Procurator or Governor of Judea. The year chosen as Jesus death is affected by the day chosen e.g. Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday or Friday, if the Sabbath mentioned is a Special Sabbath or the normal weekly Sabbath. Much also depends on how you understand "3 Days and 3 Nights" in the tomb, as part times or full 3 days and 3 nights. Also, at which point you start the 3 days and 3 nights and the point you end. Some say part day is treated as a full day.

Some of the main contenders are: -

Wednesday 5th April 29AD, 1st day of unleavened bread - our Tuesday sunset to Wednesday sunset.

March 30AD,

Friday 8th April 30AD-. Dr Arnold G. Fruchtenbaum, Ariel Ministries

Tuesday 10th April 32AD.
