During the night He is tried and convicted by the Jewish court.ìAnd they that had laid hold on Jesus led him away to Caiaphas
the high priest, where the scribes and the elders were
assembledÖThen the high priest rent his clothes, saying, He
hath spoken blasphemy; what further need have we of witnesses?
behold, now ye have heard his blasphemy. What think ye? They
answered and said, He is guilty (deserving) of death.î
Mathew 26:57; 65-66
The Jewish Court had no authority to carry out the judgment. Therefore He is
taken before Pontius Pilate early Wednesday morning for the death sentence to be
carried out.
ìWhen the morning was come, all the chief priests and elders of
the people took counsel against Jesus to put him to death: And
when they had bound him, they led him away, and delivered
him to Pontius Pilate the governor.î Matthew 27:1-2
At approximately 9 AM on Wednesday, the 14th of Nisan, Jesus the Passover
Lamb is crucified.
ìAnd it was the third hour, and they crucified him.î Mark 15:25
After 6 hours on the cross, Jesus dies at approximately 3 PM!ìAnd at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying,
Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani? which is, being interpreted, My
God, my God, why hast thou forsaken me? And some of them
that stood by, when they heard it, said, Behold, he calleth Elias.
And one ran and filled a spunge full of vinegar, and put it on a
reed, and gave him to drink, saying, Let alone; let us see whether
Elias will come to take him down. And Jesus cried with a loud
voice, and gave up the ghost.î Mark 15:34-37
His body is taken down from the cross and laid in a tomb just after sunset.
