Is this meant to be helpful?The Bible does not give any dates based on BC. Why are you adding those years in to adjust for the Bible? That is only if you adjust for a BC date. Are you saying we should add 2 years to Jesus' age so instead of being born in 4 BC it should be 6 BC? The 14th of Nisan only falls on certain days in a 7 year period. The only time it falls on Wednesday is in 30AD. The only time it falls on Friday is 33AD. One year it falls on a Saturday, the rest of the years it lands on Mondays. That is the only reason why some pick 33AD and call it good Friday. It was in 30AD on a Good Wednesday. 34AD was a Saturday. Any other year and it would have been on a Monday. The 15th of Nisan was never on a Friday ever, during those years. It was either Saturday, Sunday, or Tuesday, except 30AD. That year it was on a Thursday. So the preparation for Passover that year was on Wednesday. Then the high Sabbath on Thursday. Then a day of preparation Friday for the weekly Sabbath. They had to have the body buried before 6pm Wednesday evening (by start of Thursday). It was in the tomb Thursday evening and morning. Friday evening and morning. Saturday evening and morning, 3 days. Sunday morning 6am was the half day, evening. Putting the body in the tomb by 6pm Saturday evening, was only 36 hours, evening and morning of Saturday, and 12 hours on Sunday. 24 + 12 = 36 hours, and is not 3.5 days. 3.5 days is 3 × 24 = 72 + 12 = 84 hours.
In Egypt, the lamb was slain on the 14th, so the blood would be applied the whole 15th of the Passover.
Also on Friday, the Jews remembered about the 3.5 day prophecy and had Pilate seal the tomb on Friday. They did not have the tomb sealed on Sunday. That would have been too late. They did nothing on Thursday. They did nothing on Saturday. What was done was on Wednesday and Friday. Wednesday was the crucifixion, and on Friday the tomb was sealed.
Maybe there is someone who can figure what you are on about; I can't.
The reason the Bible does not give us dates, is because the Gregorian calendar wasn't in use then. But scholars can relate ancient methods of dating to our modern calendar.
We know, for instance the year Jerusalem was conquered by Babylon. It was 586 BC
The 2 years are not additional. They have to be included to make a total number of elapsed years, when adding up a period over the BC/AD break. THE YEARS ARE COUNTED AT THEIR COMMENCEMENT.
10 BC to 10 AD is just 18 years, not 20.
I remain certain that Jesus commenced His Ministry in 29.5 AD and was Crucified in 33 AD
