The scriptures plainly teach that Jesus Christ died on the 14th of Nisan, the day before the yearly Passover. The day of Passover was considered a special Sabbath, a "high day." John 19:31 "The Jews therefore, because it was the preparation, that the bodies should not remain upon the cross on the sabbath day, (for that sabbath day was an high day,) besought Pilate that their legs might be broken, and that they might be taken away." The book of Matthew provides further detail, explaining that Jesus died about the ninth hour, around 3:00 PM. Matthew 27:46,50 "And about the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice, saying, Eli, Eli, lama sabachthani... when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost." Completing our findings by determining the year Jesus Christ was crucified requires significant Biblical research and astronomical calculations. Also involved is understanding the Eastern reckoning of time and how our calendars correspond. Since the Hebrew month of Nisan was deduced by the moon's phase, its dates, compared to our calendar, shift from year to year. Conclusive research indicates that Jesus Christ was crucified on Wednesday, April 14th, of 28 A.D., and died around 3:00 PM. This corresponds to the 14th of Nisan on the Hebrew calendar and further correlates with Christ's resurrection appearances three days later. Matthew 12:40 "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be three days and three nights in the heart of the earth."
Golgotha also know as the place of the skull. The mountain looks like a skull when viewed from a certain angle.

Yes, Jesus was crucified outside the wall of Jerusalem.
AnswerThe Bible tells us almost nothing about the two who were crucified with Jesus. John Shelby Spong (Jesus for the NonReligious) tells us that the story purporting to describe the crucifixion of Jesus has been built on narratives from Hebrew scripture, crafted to identify Jesus with messianic images familiar to the readers of the Hebrew scriptures, and designed for liturgical use. He says that there were no thieves crucified with Jesus, penitent or otherwise. So, there is legitimate doubt as to whether there really were two thieves. Either way, we can not say what their family background was.
Jesus was crucified on a cross, died, and rose back to life three days later. Jesus allowed himself to be crucified in our place so that he could take our place. He could have walked away but chose not to and we now have salvation. John the Baptist was murdered and his head was cut off and his body was dismembered and sent to different locations.
John's age was not recorded. However, he was the youngest of the apostles and was probably in his early 20s at the time Christ was crucified.
Jerusalem is the city. He taught there and was arrested and crucified. Actually, the Bible states that Jesus' crucifixion took place outside the city of Jerusalem, but near it (John 19:20; Hebrews 13:12).
Golgotha is called the place of the skull because in Aramaic and Hebrew, "Golgotha" means "place of the skull." It is believed to refer to the skull-like appearance of the hill where Jesus was crucified.
Jesus was crucified outside of the city walls of Jerusalem in a place called Calvary or Golgotha. (Matt. 27:33; Mark 15:22; Luke 23:33; John 19:17)
The central events of Christian faith-the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus- took place in Jerusalem, 'near the city'(John 19:20), 'outside the gate' (Hebrews 13:12) at Golgotha (Skull Place)(John 19:17/Matthew 27:33).
No, the only apostle at the foot of the cross was St. John.
