Chronology of the Passion Week

I had originally planned this super-intelligent series of posts where I would chronologically cover each of the events during Jesus’ final week. The series was going to be incisive, illustrate connections of thought, move the soul and be most satisfying for my own personal studies.

Well, the chronology is driving me crazy. Hebraic day counting verses Roman day counting. Events in various gospels and analyzing differences versus similarities. I’ve been doing this for a LONG time–if you’re
wondering. Each time I pick this project up again I put it down, having a general idea of events but not a rock solid look at my watch and know “this is what happened now” sort of thing.

So I?ll post the chronology and leave it to smarter people,
theologians and chronologists to figure out what’s wrong and what’s right. I?ll post meditations throughout the week. FYI, verses with an asterisk shows a time measurement recorded in scripture.
