Who’s the Greatest Prophet? 

Jesus, like the Lamb of God during Moses’ time, was crucified on Nisan 14. That happened to be the time when they were celebrating Passover throughout the land. So, the Passover was Jesus, He was the Lamb of God, He was crucified on Nisan 14. He had to be down (off the cross and in the grave) by 6:00 PM, because that’s when the new day started. So, according to Jewish custom, any crucified person could not be on the cross after the evening, particularly when the High Sabbath started. When I say High Sabbath, it’s different from the weekly Sabbath, because during the feast time, the Jews had what they called a “High Sabbath”, and that could be during the weekly Sabbath, or it could be any day of the week. In this particular case, it was the High Sabbath which had began on Thursday that week. That’s why the women could not come to the tomb to anoint Jesus’ body with spices and fragrant oils, because they were celebrating the High Sabbath. So, Jesus was in the ground before 6:00 PM on Wednesday, and that was the night, and the day being the first day.
