Dear Daniel, You may have favored Wednesday March 24, 34 A.D. (full moon) as Passover Nisan 14 being the day our Lord was crucified.
Matthew 21:18 and Mark 11:13 shows that our Lord was hungry and had expected to eat some fig fruit a few days prior to his last Passover. Could this incident indicate an intercalary month (Adar II) being added on to the previous year to push Nisan further along when ripe figs should have been in season?
As you probably know, even Sir Isaac Newton reasoned a late April 34 A.D. crucifixion.

Likewise a scriptural account in Luke 6:1 shows reasonably near an earlier Passover (31 A.D.) where ‘corn’ was ripe enough to eat when the growing season had matured. There as well, an intercalary month would have pushed Passover Nisan 14th (full moon) onto Wednesday April 25th 31 A.D. where the growing season matured long enough when corn was ripe enough to eat. If that moment happened on the ‘first sabbath after the second day (Nisan 16th)’ that date could have very well taken place on Saturday April 28th 31 A.D. If the KJV authors (Luke 6:1) were correct in saying ‘the second sabbath after the first (sabbath)’, the date Jesus picked the corn may have been on Saturday May 5th 31 A.D.
