What Really Happened During Christ's Passover (page 2)

Burn, are you serious?

You are getting baptized?

Cool.

Blessings to you, my brother.

The events you described are typical of what most Churches teach but they will not fit into the time-line that the scriptures provided for several reasons. For one thing, two afternoons are being described during this week long Passover observance, the one where Barrabas was being voted on for release, and the one when the sun was darkened for three hours. Then there is the problem with our Lord being before Pilate in the afternoon and His being nailed up on the third hour or the third hour of the night since time does not go backwards. And there were other events that took much more time then what is being allowed for. Days were involved, not just hours. I did several work-ups on this and a simple discussion is provided at: http://home.earthlink.net/~jmalik/ch9notes.txt A more detailed breakdown is available in Beyond Watchtower Doctrine which downloads with my book. As disciples one would think that everyone would be aware of such events.

Joseph, I've long been aware of such events, but Mr. Blank does such a beautiful and non-dogmatic job of timelining those events.

Perhaps he and I have missed something?

Sunset Tuesday to sunset Wednesday (Nisan 14)

Christ observed His Passover (also known as "The Last Supper") with the apostles, Tuesday evening just after sunset.

At about 10 p.m. Tuesday evening, they went out and entered the Garden of Gethsemane where the Messiah prayed and was then arrested by the mob.
Matthew 26:36-56, Mark 14:32-52, Luke 22:39-53, John 18:1-11

Jesus was taken to the house of the Caiaphas, the high priest, and was held there from about 11 p.m. Tuesday to dawn Wednesday. Throughout the night, Jesus was brutalized and mocked by the religious council and their thugs.
Matthew 26:57-75, Mark 14:53-72, Luke 22:54-65, John 18:12-27

At daybreak Wednesday, Jesus was taken to Pontius Pilate who declared Him innocent of any wrongdoing. Pilate then sent Jesus to Herod Antipas, who happened to be in Jerusalem at the time. During that same time, Judas tried to return his thirty silver coins to the Sanhedrin and then hung himself.
Luke 22:66-71, Luke 23:1-7, Matthew 27:1-10

Herod Antipas, after listening to the accusations, also declared Jesus an innocent man, having done nothing deserving death. He then sent Him back to Pilate.
Luke 23:6-15

Pilate again tried to have Jesus released, but eventually gave in to the frenzied mob. He released the murderer Barabbas, and handed Jesus over to be crucified, knowing full well that Jesus of Nazareth was an innocent man.
Luke 23:13-25

The Roman military then took charge of Jesus; they sadistically tortured and beat Him nearly to death through the morning on Wednesday and then took Him out of the city for the Crucifixion.Matthew 27:27-56, Mark 15:16-41, Luke 23:26-43, John 19:16-27

Snowbird (Sylvia).

I am sure that he did a beautiful job as far as appearances go. But the WT has fooled millions with the beautiful job they do with their lies. They even talked their followers into not partaking and threatened any that disobeyed them. Never mind that this is a basic teaching of Jesus Christ. The material he provided does not fit scripture. The Passover Lamb was NEVER eaten on the 14, just killed and prepared for the Sabbath meal that took place in the evening of that day but after the date changed to the 15th. This is Passover 101 for Jews and supported by scripture. His explanations make no sense to me but then I had studied it and detailed it so anyone can understand. Anyone interested can see this for themselves.
