It is not the scriptures you post, I have a problem with your interpretation of them...I could say the same thing you do but at the beginning of the 14th...after sunset...no leavening, 1st day...the day the lambs were killed...that would solve your problem, yet you would still have all the problems your scenario has on the 15th.
Shavuah Tov
You're talking in circles again.
Is there some day other than the 14th that can be considered the "first day" of unleavened bread?
Is there some day other than the 14th that can be considered the day "when the passover must be killed"?
You keep criticizing my "interpretation" of these things. I don't see the error.
YOU are wanting to put this event on the 13th. But the 13th isn't the first day of unleavened bread by any stretch of the imagination. Nor is the 13th the day when the passover must be killed. That would have been illegal.
THAT is what Mark and Luke both say the afternoon leading up to the last supper was. The "first day of unleavened bread, when the passover must be killed."
If you have a different "interpretation" to that, feel free to express it and provide source material to support it.
As for my "15th" problems, I have answered every single objection you have raised. You just don't like my answers. He was tried following the passover feast. The Talmud, in Sanhedrin, says that was legal, just not common, because in a capital case resulting in a death sentence, the sentence had to be carried out within twenty-four hours. The holiday Sabbath of the 15th prevented that. But in this case, the guilty verdict in a capital case was brought to the Romans to have them carry out the death sentence. That's why they had him crucified instead of stoned for blasphemy.
You said that the Jews weren't allowed to execute anyone, but Pontius Pilate gave them permission. He told them to see to it. They said they could not. That's because it was the 15th, and a day of rest. Later, Stephen was stoned to death for blasphemy. Numerous times, the people tried to stone Jesus. They clearly had no impediment to executing him themselves, except that it was the 15th.
As for what day the lambs were killed versus Jesus versus the 15th ... just because you want to apply theological symbolism to Christ's death, it doesn't change the historical fact of what day it was. Mark and Luke are explicit in stating precisely what day it was when they celebrated the passover. Our symbolic passover or not, he still died on the 15th.
Whatever your other objections were, I don't recall them at the moment. Feel free to list them. I'm happy to answer to them.
