How is Easter on 3/27/16 before Passover 4/22/16???

[SAAN]

According to the Johannine chronology. Not according to the synoptic chronology.


In the Johannine chronology, Jesus was crucified on the 14th of Nisan, which was a Friday, and rose on the 16th of Nisan, which was a Sunday.

We can preserve the lunar dates or the days of the week, but not both. Since Sunday was a Christian festival-day from the very beginning, most Christians decided to celebrate the resurrection on the Lord's day that fell within the week of Unleavened Bread, rather than on the 16th of Nisan without regard to the weekday. This is a rational choice.

Jesus gave only 1 sign that he would be the Messiah and it was that he would be in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights, so if he wasnt in the grave for 3 days and 3 nights, he was a liar and IS NOT the Messiah, so that automatically rules Fri-Sun out, because his death on a Friday at 3pm and being placed in the tomb right before sun down and rising again after the sun went dont Saturday night according to Matthew 28:1, makes hem in the graves for all of 24-26 hours, which it pretty much 1 day and a few hours.

Jesus died on Passover and Rose on the First Fruits

We know from Josephus and Philo that, in the Herodian era, Passover was the 14th of Nisan and that the day of waving the sheaf was the 16th of Nisan.
