Well of course it does. that makes April 6, 8 P.M. Thursday the equivalent of start of the Hebrew Friday as their day began at sundown. So to the Hebrew it would be Nisan 14 at 8PM, the beginning of their day count. The Roman Thursday would be ending and the Hebrew friday had already started.

I refuse to believe you could really be this dense. But, I will play along for the benefit of lurkers who are still not sure.

If April 6th, Thursday..... was the full moon.... when did the day begin according to the Naval Observatory? At 12:01 A.M.....correct? There was a full moon at midnight immediately after Wednesday, April the 5th had concluded. The Hebrew months are 29 or 30 days because the moon cycle is about 29.5 days from new moon to new moon. Consequently....the full moon in any Hebrew month rises after sundown of the 14th as the day turns into the 15th. The major Feasts (except Pentecost & Trumpets) begin on the 15th.

The naval observatory explains that the full moon rose on the 6th of April which as the calendar shows is the 15th of Nisan. That day....the Hebrew 15th began on the sundown of April 5 and continued to be April 5 until midnight. When April 6th started.....Nisan 15 had already been in effect for a few hours since sundown.

Yeshua was not crucified on the Feast [II Chronicles 35:1][Matthew 26:5]. He was put on the stake, died and was entombed all on the 14th which your own link shows was Wednesday.....the day before the full moon of the Feast, Thursday.

Friday was April 7 by Roman count, and Nisan 14 by Hebrew count.

May I ask a silly question. If the Naval Observatory says that the full moon rose on the 6th of April and it was a Thursday.....how does this magically become Friday in your mind? If they are correct (which is a good assumption) then the day before the full moon would be a Wednesday....not a Friday. The Passover always occurs the day before the Full moon.....not the day after. This means that Passover, Nisan 14, 30 A.D. (according to your own link) occurred on Wednesday. The full moon occurs on the Feast....the 15th. That, according to the Naval Observatory was the 6th of April 30 A.D. and it began one second after Wednesday the 5th of April ended.

Hebrew/Modern calendar showing April 6th to be the same day as Nisan 15.......the Feast, 30 A.D.

At the time of the Feast Joseph and Nicodemus had just entombed Yeshua as the sun went down [John 19:14; 19:31; 19:41-42].
