but it was this day, the 10th, that it was to be declared to be THE LAMB, the one they would sacrifice and eat.
Corresponds to the Song of Assent, Messianic prophecy of the triumphant entry, "This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad in it". THE DAY was Sunday where Jesus finally allowed himself to be worshipped as king and told the religious leaders who complained of the blasphemy that if the people held their peace on THAT DAY, the rocks would cry out. This was on Sunday the 10th. He was crucified on Good Thursday afternoon the 14th, Passover. The next day Friday was the first day of the Feast of Unleavened, another sabboth, and Saturday was as you said the normal Sabboth. He then rose on the 3rd day, Sunday morning.
During the week Jesus lamented over the city of Jerusalem and said because they did not understand bible prophecy predicting his triumphal entry to Jerusalem on "THAT DAY", Sunday, Jerusalem would be destroyed, because they "knew not the day of their visitation", referring to the prophecy of "This is the day the Lord has made" on that Sunday, prophesied by Daniel to be 483 years to the day from the day commandment was given to rebuild Jerusalem in Daniel 9:25 at the end of the Babylonian captivity:
Know therefore and understand, [that] from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince (the Sunday of his triumphal entry when he would present himself as the Meschiach, or Messiah, of Israel) [shall be] seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Seven weeks (of years) and threescore and two weeks (of years) = 69 x 7 = 483 years from the day of the commandment to restore and rebuild Jerusalem at the end of the Babylonian captivity to Palm Sunday on the 10th of Nisan, 32AD.
This assumes that the commandment was issued by Artaxerxes, in Nehemiah chapter 2, and that the other end of the timeline is in Nisan, at or near the crucifixion. That's a funny time for the Messiah to arrive, esp. since he'd been preaching for 3+ years.
Well, what if the commandment ("word") was God's, and it was issued in the month of Kislev, as soon as Nehemiah prayed about it? The pattern is described in Daniel 9, verses 23 and 25:
Daniel 9:23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand the matter, and consider the vision.
Daniel 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.
Compare Nehemiah 1 with Daniel 9.
Nehemiah 1:1-6
1 The words of Nehemiah the son of Hachaliah. And it came to pass in the month Chisleu, in the twentieth year, as I was in Shushan the palace,
2 That Hanani, one of my brethren, came, he and certain men of Judah; and I asked them concerning the Jews that had escaped, which were left of the captivity, and concerning Jerusalem.
3 And they said unto me, The remnant that are left of the captivity there in the province are in great affliction and reproach: the wall of Jerusalem also is broken down, and the gates thereof are burned with fire.
4 And it came to pass, when I heard these words, that I sat down and wept, and mourned certain days, and fasted, and prayed before the God of heaven,
5 And said, I beseech thee, O LORD God of heaven, the great and terrible God, that keepeth covenant and mercy for them that love him and observe his commandments:
6 Let thine ear now be attentive, and thine eyes open, that thou mayest hear the prayer of thy servant, which I pray before thee now, day and night, for the children of Israel thy servants, and confess the sins of the children of Israel, which we have sinned against thee: both I and my father's house have sinned.

Luke 4:16-21
16 And he came to Nazareth, where he had been brought up: and, as his custom was, he went into the synagogue on the sabbath day, and stood up for to read.
17 And there was delivered unto him the book of the prophet Esaias. And when he had opened the book, he found the place where it was written,
18 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the gospel to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised,
19 To preach the acceptable year of the Lord.
20 And he closed the book, and he gave it again to the minister, and sat down. And the eyes of all them that were in the synagogue were fastened on him.
21 And he began to say unto them, This day is this scripture fulfilled in your ears.
This Haftarah (Isaiah 61:1-2) is the 34th reading of the 3rd year of the triennial cycle, and would correspond to the end of Heshvan or the beginning of Kislev, 29 AD. 1 Kislev was a Sabbath.
The crucifixion appears to have divided time, down the middle.
Daniel 9:27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, [gap] and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.
To be continued with the wrath of the [Pesach] lamb...
No, you missed it a little, Jesus BEING the Passover Lamb, The Lamb Of God, had to be killed FOR the Passover.
Remember, the Passover Lamb had to be killed in order to be eaten for the Passover Meal, and that starts anytime after 6pm, the start of the day according to the Jewish Calander. For Christ to be Killed After the Passover Lamb was killed, a full day after, He would not be THE LAMB OF GOD. Remember, it was only when the Blood of the slain Lamb was applied on the 14th that the Angel of Death passed over, and according to Exodus:
(Exo 12:28 KJV) And the children of Israel went away, and did as the LORD had commanded Moses and Aaron, so did they.
(Exo 12:29 KJV) And it came to pass, that at midnight the LORD smote all the firstborn in the land of Egypt, from the firstborn of Pharaoh that sat on his throne unto the firstborn of the captive that was in the dungeon; and all the firstborn of cattle.
Note, it is still the 14th, and only 6 hours into the 14th, the Lamb could not have been killed, and roasted over a spit and eaten in that time period!
Remember, the Angel of Death was only deadly for those who WERE NOT UNDER THE BLOOD, so, if Christ's death on the cross came AFTER the time period of the Angel of Death's appearance, it would b totally out of sync of God plan, it's timing would not be miraclulous, in fact, it would not even be co-incidental.
