Timing of the crucifixion etc
Scenario 1: The Last Supper was a Passover meal. Therefore the lambs had already been killed by the priests earlier that day, Jesus was therefore crucified on 15 Abib (a sabbath).
Scenario 2: The Last Supper was either not a Passover meal or was being kept according to a sectarian calendar not used by the priests. Jesus was crucified at about the same time the lambs were being offered, on 14 Abib, day before the sabbath of 15 Abib.
Which is correct, and why? Or is there a third alternative?
Please note, this is NOT about "Wed, Thurs, or Fri crucifixion" debates.
