If the passover sabbath had been on a thursday, as it is this year then Jesus could have been crucified on wednesday afternoon. He would have been buried before sundown and spent thursday, friday, and saturday in the tomb and risen sometime early sunday morning. There would have been two sabbaths that week, the passover and the weekly sabbath, and that's where the "good friday "confusion comes from.

I agree with your timing. Since their days began and ended at 6 p.m., Sunday would have begun at 6 p.m. on what we call Saturday.

Wasn't the Last Supper actually the Passover Seder? That would have Him being crucified on Friday, the day after.
