Jehovah's Witnesses, What date and year did Jesus die?

Question

Now, how did you come about this date?

JW's are always saying they know this date..I noticed one JW's asked someone to post it as a question, so they could answer it..so I did..now I want to know..and I want to know how they came about this date

Answer 1

The death of Jesus Christ took place in the spring, on the Passover Day, Nisan (or Abib) 14, according to the Jewish calendar. (Mt 26:2; Joh 13:1-3; Ex 12:1-6; 13:4) That year the Passover occurred on the sixth day of the week (counted by the Jews as from sundown on Thursday to sundown on Friday). This is evident from John 19:31, which shows that the following day was “a great” sabbath.

The day after Passover was always a sabbath, no matter on what day of the week it came. (Leviticus 23:5-7) But when this special Sabbath coincided with the regular Sabbath (the seventh day of the week), it became “a great one.” So Jesus’ death took place on Friday, Nisan 14, by about 3:00 p.m.—Luke 23:44-46.
Summary of evidence. Summing up, then, since Jesus’ death took place in the spring month of Nisan, his ministry, which began three and a half years earlier according to Daniel 9:24-27, must have begun in the fall, about the month of Ethanim (September-October). John’s ministry (initiated in Tiberius’ 15th year), then, must have begun in the spring of the year 29 C.E. John’s birth therefore would be placed in the spring of the year 2 B.C.E., Jesus’ birth would come about six months later in the fall of 2 B.C.E., his ministry would start about 30 years later in the fall of 29 C.E., and his death would come in the year 33 C.E. (on Nisan 14 in the spring, as stated).

you can go ti www.timeanddate.com and look for the jewish calendar Year 33 C.E and see at the bottom how the Nisan 14 was in April

Answer 2

Jehovah's Witnesses commemorate Christ's death as a ransom or propitiatory sacrifice by observing The Lord's Evening Meal, or Memorial, each year on Nisan 14 according to the ancient Jewish calendar. As the date is calculated from the moon calendar, the corresponding Gregorian Date changes every year. For 2007, this date fell on April 2nd. Jehovah's Witnesses believe that this is the only celebration commanded for Christians in the Bible. In support, they often cite Jesus' words found at 1 Corinthians 11:24, 25.

Answer 3

Hi Lisa,
JW's have a penchant for getting dates wrong because it suits their crazy interpretation of prophecy.

To calculate Jesus probable date of birth we use the 70 week prophecy from Daniel 9.

The 70 weeks or 490 years commence from the year 457 B.C. and bring us through to 34 A.D.

The annointing of the Messiah occurs after 69 weeks or 483 years. This brings us to 27 A.D.

Jesus' ministry began when He was batised by John the Baptist.

Daniel's prophecy says that in he middle of the final week (7 year period) He would be cut off but not for Himself. The term "cut off" refers to Jesus' death.

Half of 7 = 3 and a half. Jesus was crucified in the spring of 30 A.D. at the time of the Passover, thus making Jesus the Lamb of God as John the Baptist had called Him.

The stoning of Stephen (Acts 7) brought the 490 year period of probation for the Jewish nation to a close. They had rejected the Messiah, rejected the message preached by the Apostles and now the heirship of The Kingdom passed to the Christian church as spritual Jews.

Based on this prophecy Jesus was probably born in late summer early autumn 4 B.C. As the shepherds were still in the fields we know that it could not possibly have been in the month of December, the pagan date now celebrated by Christendom as Jesus' birthday.

God Bless,
H'chat.

Answer 4

Nobody know the date and year of the death of Jesus including his birth. No basis of JW to answer your question. It was not written in the bible.

AS A BIBLE STUDENT, THIS WAS THE MOST DIFFICULT TO DETERMINE.

Answer 6

The bible teaches that Jesus was 30 when he began his work, and bible students recognize that Jesus' ministry lasted three and a half years. Would that not obviously imply that his impalement was in the spring of 33 CE?
...(Luke 3:21-23) Jesus also was baptized... Jesus himself, when he commenced his work, was about thirty years old


Here is a lengthy discussion of the chronology, according to the bible encyclopedia "Insight on the Scriptures" (Insight-2, pages 56-57).
[quote]
Jesus evidently was born in the month of Ethanim (September-October) of the year 2 B.C.E., was baptized about the same time of the year in 29 C.E., and died about 3:00 p.m. on Friday, the 14th day of the spring month of Nisan (March-April), 33 C.E. The basis for these dates is as follows:
. Jesus was born approximately six months after the birth of his relative John (the Baptizer), during the rule of Roman Emperor Caesar Augustus (31 B.C.E.–14 C.E.) and the Syrian governorship of Quirinius (see REGISTRATION for the probable dates of Quirinius’ administration), and toward the close of the reign of Herod the Great over Judea.—Mt 2:1, 13, 20-22; Lu 1:24-31, 36; 2:1, 2, 7.
. His birth in relation to Herod’s death. While the date of Herod’s death is a debated one, there is considerable evidence pointing to 1 B.C.E. (See HEROD No. 1 [Date of His Death]; CHRONOLOGY [Lunar eclipses].) A number of events intervened between the time of Jesus’ birth and Herod’s death. These included Jesus’ circumcision on the eighth day (Lu 2:21); his being brought to the temple in Jerusalem 40 days after birth (Lu 2:22, 23; Le 12:1-4, 8); the journey of the astrologers “from eastern parts” to Bethlehem (where Jesus was no longer in a manger but in a house—Mt 2:1-11; compare Lu 2:7, 15, 16); Joseph and Mary’s flight to Egypt with the young child (Mt 2:13-15); followed by Herod’s realization that the astrologers had not followed his instructions, and the subsequent slaughter of all boys in Bethlehem and its districts under the age of two years (indicating that Jesus was not then a newborn infant). (Mt 2:16-18) Jesus’ birth taking place in the fall of 2 B.C.E. would allow for the time required by these events intervening between his birth and the death of Herod, likely in 1 B.C.E. There is, however, added reason for placing Jesus’ birth in 2 B.C.E.
. Relationship to John’s ministry. Further basis for the dates given at the start of this section is found at Luke 3:1-3, which shows that John the Baptizer began his preaching and baptizing in “the fifteenth year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar.” That 15th year ran from the latter half of 28 C.E. to August or September of 29 C.E. (See TIBERIUS.) At some point in John’s ministry, Jesus went to him and was baptized. When Jesus thereafter commenced his own ministry he was “about thirty years old.” (Lu 3:21-23) At the age of 30, the age at which David became king, Jesus would no longer be subject to human parents.—2Sa 5:4, 5; compare Lu 2:51.
. According to Numbers 4:1-3, 22, 23, 29, 30, those going into sanctuary service under the Law covenant were “from thirty years old upward.” It is reasonable that John the Baptizer, who was a Levite and son of a priest, began his ministry at the same age, not at the temple, of course, but in the special assignment Jehovah had outlined for him. (Lu 1:1-17, 67, 76-79) The specific mention (twice) of the age difference between John and Jesus and the correlation between the appearances and messages of Jehovah’s angel in announcing the births of the two sons (Lu 1) give ample basis for believing that their ministries followed a similar timetable, that is, the start of John’s ministry (as the forerunner of Jesus) being followed about six months later by the commencement of Jesus’ ministry.
. On this basis, John’s birth occurred 30 years before he began his ministry in Tiberius’ 15th year, hence somewhere between the latter half of 3 B.C.E. and August or September of 2 B.C.E., with Jesus’ birth following about six months later.
. Evidence for three-and-a-half-year ministry. Through the remaining chronological evidence an even more definite conclusion can be reached. This evidence deals with the length of Jesus’ ministry and time of death. The prophecy at Daniel 9:24-27 (discussed fully in the article SEVENTY WEEKS) points to the appearance of the Messiah at the start of the 70th “week” of years (Da 9:25) and his sacrificial death in the middle or “at the half” of the final week, thereby ending the validity of the sacrifices and gift offerings under the Law covenant. (Da 9:26, 27; compare Heb 9:9-14; 10:1-10.) This would mean a ministry of three and a half years’ duration (half of a “week” of seven years) for Jesus Christ.
