Was it:
On the first day of Passover, the 15th day of Nissan
Mathew (26:20-30)
On the first day of Passover, the 15th day of Nissan
Mark (14:17-25)
On the first day of Passover, the 15th day of Nissan
Luke (22:14--23)
Or:
On the day before Passover, the 14th day of Nissan
John (13:1, 29, 12:28, 19:14)
Seems to be some confusion here

The Book of John reads, "Now it was the day of preparation for the Passover . . . . Then he handed him over to them to be crucified." (19:14-16)

He wasn't crucified so it's immaterial. He'd gained some enlightenment by studying with Buddhists so he knew the prophecy was a sham and walked away, dying of old age. A man named Simon was drugged and died in his place. It's one of the greatest conspiracies pulled over on other humans of all times.

John 13:1 refers to the Last Supper, not the Crucifixion. The Last Supper took place the day before the Crucifixion.
John 13:29 refers to Judas' betrayal, which also happened the night before the Crucifixion.
John 12:28 doesn't refer to the Last Supper or the Crucifixion.
John 19:14 takes us to the next day -- Friday --tells us that it was the preparation day for the Passover and that at that time, it was about noon.
The Passover did not start until sundown; the morning and afternoon preceding that sundown (all on the same day) was considered to be the "preparation day."
That's what it was considered to be back then -- and for Jews today, still is.
So there's no confusion.
All four Gospels tell us that Jesus was crucified on the Friday afternoon just preceding Passover, which began on sundown that same evening.

First, no one knows when "Jesus" was crucified. Second, the story is questionable as the Jews would not have been able to take Jesus, another Jew, to Pontius Pilate as to have done so would have made them ritually unclean, as well as it would have broken other religious rules of behavior. Finally, Christians and not Jews set the dates up for when different event are celebrated in their religious system. If you are a christian, don't worry, just celebrate, as if you try to figure it all out it will unravel like a loose ball of yarn. Too much education is a sure fire way to loose your faith. Too much thinking is the seond most dangerous thing to do if one is religious. Pentacost is the day the holy spirit supposedly descended upon the apostles and disciples when they were hiding in the upper room. After which they had a great rivial meeting. You seem to be confusing the assumption with pentacosst. You are correct in that virtually nthing is logical in religion. May it all be well with you.

I don't know what version are you using, but for what I read, all of them agree that it was the day of the preparation for the Passover, the first day of the Feast of the Unleavened Bread, the day they used to sacrifice the Lamb (hmmm, nice analogy). Now, if it's 14th Nissan or 15th Nissan, that I don't know. But it was not the first day of Passover (and in NIV version it doesn't say so, it just says the deay of preparation or the day of Unleavened bread). It was right before that, and Jesus died at the same hour that is customary to slain the lamb (so that has to be BEFORE Passover).

No confusion. You've misread John. The day before the Passover was when he was ARRESTED. Read it again, beginning with Chapter 13 until the crucifixion. He was crucified the following day, the first day of Passover.

Your approach of the days is correct as far as the 15th in the synoptics vs. the 14th in John.
I just read an approach to this discrepency in the book "Getting the Gospels" by Steven L. Bridge. He has an interesting take on which day is correct and why the author(s) may differ. Pick it up at your library if you have a chance. It has some interesting takes on the nativity, Jesus' public ministry, His passion, resurrection, and more.

Nobody really knows for sure, but I think it was a Thursday. Most crucifixions were held on a Thursday

Read The Bible and find out instead of wasting points.

He was crucified
He was buried
He rose from the dead.
No confusion here.
