Generally, one would find a range between 29 to 35 AD as the timeframe used for the crucifixion of Christ. However, a fuller read of the facts provided in the Gospels would reveal 'hints' to help narrow down this date. For instance, the Last Supper was on a Passover with the Feast of Unleavened Bread the next day which is an Annual Sabbath. A day after that is the Preparation day for the weekly Sabbath at Friday evening. We know He is seen very early, while it was still dark arisen on the 1st day or Sunday in the dark time which in the Hebrew calendar is still the night portion of Sunday. Obviously, He was resurrected prior to this time - how much is the question.
Sir Isaac newton struggled to find this date. He thought Christ's ministry lasted through 4 Passovers from His start in His 30th year. However, the Scripture indicates 3 during his ministry, with the 4th being the night or dark part of the Passover of betrayal after the meal. He was crucified on the day portion of the Passover and taken down before sunset of the Annual Sabbath of the start of Unleavened Bread.
Putting these facts together, and going with 4 Passovers, one would be lead to believe He was crucified on Wednesday morning and died, taken down, quickly prepared and buried just before the sunset or start of the Feast Day to begin the night period of Thursday. To keep His only sign given of His Messiahship - being in the Earth as Job was in the great fish 3 fulls days and 3 full nights would mean the sunset periods(night) of Wednesday, Thursday and Friday and the sunlight periods(day) of Thursday, Friday, Saturday. Exactly 72 hours from the time He was placed in the tomb, just before sunset Saturday, He arose. At sunset, it began per the Hebrew calendar, the 1st day or Sunday when He was seen in the dark period. This all fits exactly for 31 AD only.
In 31 AD, the Passover began on what we today call Tuesday evening after sunset. This was the first half of what the Jews considered the start of Wednesday which would end at sunset in the day portion - Just like Creation in Genesis where there is darkness and light on the 1st day. As Christ dies in the 9th hour which equates to 3:00 PM on Passover, Wednesday, 25 April 31 AD. He arises on what we consider Saturday daylight portion (weekly Sabbath ends) before sunset which is the start of the 1st day of the week, and is seen on Sunday the dark portion. Coincidentally, the Feast of Pentecost means 50 days after the Resurrection so it had to be a Saturday as this Feast falls on a Sunday.
Jesus is Lord of the Sabbath and it is fitting for Him to rise from the dead on the Sabbath and no other day.
