When did Jesus die?
John clearly says he was already dead on the day of preparation. Mark clearly says he had supper on the day of preparation, and was tried and crucified the next day.
Mark says Jesus hung out with his disciples on the day of preparation for passover, and they prepared the passover meal, ate it (the last supper), then went to a mountain where Jesus prayed all night and the disciples kept falling asleep, then Judas betrayed him, he got arrested, tried in the morning of the next day (the day after the day of preparation), and crucified in "the third hour."Mark said:14:12 And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover?
14:16 And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover.
14:17 And in the evening he cometh with the twelve.
14:26 And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives.
15:1 And straightway in the morning the chief priests held a consultation with the elders and scribes and the whole council, and bound Jesus, and carried him away, and delivered him to Pilate.
15:25 And it was the third hour, and they crucified him.
John says Jesus was crucified some time after "the sixth hour" on the day of preparation. John probably said this because he repeatedly refers to Jesus as the "lamb of God," and it was the evening of the day of preparation when they would kill the lambs for the passover.John said:19:14 And it was the preparation of the passover, and about the sixth hour: and he saith unto the Jews, Behold your King!
19:15 But they cried out, Away with him, away with him, crucify him. Pilate saith unto them, Shall I crucify your King? The chief priests answered, We have no king but Caesar.
19:16 Then delivered he him therefore unto them to be crucified. And they took Jesus, and led him away.
19:30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It is finished: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.
19:31 The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away.
John clearly says he was already dead on the day of preparation. Mark clearly says he had supper on the day of preparation, and was tried and crucified the next day.
