Here’s an overall view of what we might be looking into in detail through this series. Jewish Days

Day Jewish day Modern day

First Yom Rishon Sunday Second day Yom Sheni Monday Third day Yom Shlishi Tuesday Fourth day Yom Revi’i Wednesday Fifth day Yom Chamishi Thursday Sixth day Yom Shishi Friday Seventh day Yom Shabbat Saturday The actual day starts from 6 am to 6 pm.

The first day starts on the Sabbath day – Saturday evening 6 pm – and it ends on the first day evening at 6 pm. Genesis 1:5 (NKJV) – God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night. So the evening and the morning were the first day.

Further references can be found in Genesis 1:8,13, 19,23 and 31. Jewish people still follow this method for the ‘day’ calculation.

Passover is on the first month, i.e., the Month of Nissan on the 14th day (Leviticus 23:4– 7), so the 14th day starts on the 13th day evening at 6 pm. “‘These are the LORD’s appointed festivals, the sacred assemblies you are to proclaim at their appointed times: 5 The LORD’s Passover begins at twilight on the fourteenth day of the first month. 6 On the fifteenth day of that month the LORD’s Festival of Unleavened Bread begins; for seven days you must eat bread made without yeast. 7 On the first day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work. 8 For seven days present a food offering to the LORD. And on the seventh day hold a sacred assembly and do no regular work.’” (NIV) Hebrew Months Last week according to the Gospel of Mark The Gospel of Mark gives the account of the last 5 days very accurately. Mark 11:1 is exactly 5 days before the Passover; it is the day after Jesus arrives from Bethany as per

which is six days before Passover! Days before Passover Scripture 5 Mark 11:1 4 Mark 11:12 3 Mark 11:20 2 Mark 14:1 1 Mark 14:12 So we will work this out as our basic for the days, also incorporating information from the other Gospels in order to get a clear picture of Jesus’ journey.
