Two Calendars Systems During the Crucifixion

Scripture reveals that at least two calendar systems were operating during the crucifixion of our Messiah. Yeshua observed His Father's calendar (Zadok calendar), while the Jewish leaders of that time followed the Hillel/Babylonian calendar. This resulted in Yeshua celebrating Pesach with His disciples on the evening of the 14th day, while the Jewish authorities (high priests and scribes) were preparing on the 15th day to observe their Pesach on the 16th day.

According to the Zadok calendar, Pesach is held on the 14th day (Day 3 of the week) in the evening, marking the beginning of the Feast of Unleavened Bread.
