Quote:BTW, we don't know if it was AD33.Because we are unsure whether Good Friday fell on Nisan 14 or Nisan 15, there are a number of possible dates: 11 April AD 27, 7 April AD 30, 3 April AD 33, 26 March AD 34, 23 April AD 34. Humphreys & Waddington* favour AD 33, but (in my opinion) AD 30 cannot be ruled out. (The AD 27 and AD 34 dates are highly unlikely for various reasons -- which I cannot recall!)
