How do we know Jesus' crucifixion happened on Friday?

Answered in 1 source

Historical and biblical evidence supports the crucifixion of Jesus on Friday, aligning with the Passover and fulfilling prophetic scripture.

The assertion that Jesus was crucified on a Friday is supported by a combination of biblical texts and historical context. The Gospels suggest that Jesus was crucified during the preparation for the Passover, which tradition indicates falls on a Friday. Additionally, scholars note that the timing corresponds with Jewish customs of sacrificing lambs during Passover, as highlighted in Mark 15 and John 19. By analyzing the chronology in the Gospels and aligning it with secular historical accounts, we find a robust basis for understanding that Jesus indeed was crucified on a Friday, a day that reverberates with profound significance for Christians as the moment of salvation was initiated.
