On this link 'Jesus Christ' at this address: http://bythebible.page.tl/Jesus-Christ.htm at the bottom of the page, an attempt has been made to address this question as far as our modern calendar. At this moment, the date shown is being verified since someone else is claiming a slightly different date. The Jewish custom was to begin the new day in the evening from 6PM. The evening beginning at that time that Jesus celebrated passover meal was Nisan 14 that had begun a few hours earlier. Just like our days, their days lasted 24 hours each. Thus we read in the Bible how Jesus at dawn was turned over to the Roman authorities. This is still Nisan 14. And when he is hung on the stake, it still is Nisan 14. At 3PM it is the ninth hour of daylight Nisan 14. This day then finishes at 6PM the day Jesus died.

When did Jesus die Nisan 14/15/20 or other?
by eyeslice inoften as witnesses, we were told of people who started studying the bible (in reality wt literature) and were amazed at what they learned.
you know the sort of thing i mean i have been going to church for years and never knew that.. .
however, in my recent studies, particularly of the book of john, i have felt the same way.
