Study Indicates Jesus ‘Died on Friday, April 3, 33AD’… Matches Crucifixion to Earthquake Date Mentioned in the Gospel

Jesus died on Friday, April 3, 33AD, according to an investigation which matches his death to an earthquake. The
investigation, from the International Geology Review, looked at
earthquake activity around the Dead Sea, which is around 13 miles from
Jerusalem.

The Gospel of
Matthew, Chapter 27, says that as Jesus lay dying on the cross, an
earthquake shook the area, scattering graves and making the sky go dark.

Now researchers have looked at
textual accounts, geological records and astronomical data to find the
most likely date for Jesus’s death.

Geologist
Jefferson Williams of Supersonic Geophysical, and colleagues from the
German Research Center for Geosciences, studied soil samples from the
beach of Ein Gedi Spa, next to the Dead Sea.

Researching the deeper layers of the
soil, two earthquakes were detected by looking at the layers of built-up
sediment, called varves, which built up each year.

A
widespread earthquake is known to have happened in 31BC, and another
one was detected which must have occured between 26AD and 36AD.

Williams told Discovery that the
latter earthquake occurred during ‘the years when Pontius Pilate was
procurator of Judea and when the earthquake of the Gospel of Matthew is
historically constrained.’

He said the the day and date of the crucifixion are known with a fair degree of precision – but the year has been in question.

However, putting the jigsaw together, Williams said the clues were:

All
four gospels and Tacitus in Annals (XV,44) agree that the crucifixion
occurred when Pontius Pilate was procurator of Judea from 26-36 AD
All four gospels say the crucifixion occurred on a Friday
All four gospels agree that Jesus died a few hours before the beginning of the Jewish Sabbath (nightfall on a Friday)
The
synoptic gospels (Matthew, Mark, and Luke) indicate that Jesus died
before nightfall on the 14th day of Nisan; right before the start of the
Passover meal
John’s
gospel differs from the ‘Synoptic Gospels’; apparently indicating that
Jesus died before nightfall on the 15th day of Nisan

The
researchers said that these clues, combined with the Jewish calendar
and astronomy clues, indicate that Friday April 3, 33 AD is the best
possible match.

One other
clue in the gospels may also support this theory – three of the four
canonical gospels report darkness from midday to 3pm on the day after
the crucifixion.

Williams
told Discovery that this could have been caused by a dust storm – and
now he is searching the soil samples to see if he can find evidence of
this as well.

The Gospel of Matthew:

“Jesus, when he had cried again with a loud voice, yielded up the ghost.

And, behold, the veil of the temple was rent in twain from the top to the bottom; and the earth did quake, and the rocks rent;

And the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose,

And came out of the graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many.

Now
when the centurion, and they that were with him, watching Jesus, saw
the earthquake, and those things that were done, they feared greatly,
saying, Truly this was the Son of God.”
