CHAPTER

Unraveling the Mystery of Jesus' Crucifixion Date

This chapter meticulously analyzes historical clues to determine the accurate date of Jesus' crucifixion, focusing on details like the high priesthood of Caiaphas, Pontius Pilate's governorship, and John the Baptist's ministry to narrow down the timeframe. It explores the transition of power from Augustus to Tiberius to estimate the beginning of Tiberius's reign, eventually pinpointing Jesus's ministry start in AD 29 and correlating dates to confirm the Crucifixion day as a Friday. By delving into various historical clues and events, the chapter discusses the potential years of AD 30 and AD 33 as the accurate dates of the Crucifixion, highlighting the connection with Passover and exploring the shift in scholarly views on the date over time.
