Hu-uh??  Are you suggesting that YaHshua was crucified at Midnight? If so, I 
beg to differ!  Well, I really don't beg, but I do differ.  It is 
unquestionable that YaHshua died during daylight hours.  
Besides, I thought we had already cleared up the fact that the 
"Twain of the evenings" was 3 p.m. 
 P.S.  I don't smoke cigars.

Yes, He died on Wednesday (the Fourth day toward the Sabbath, as would  be 
stated by the Hebrews) at 3 p.m.  The 1st day of the Feast of  Unleavened 
Bread had just began 3 hours earlier.  Remember, it was the  night before 
that YaHshua and His disciples kept the Passover.  In the  New Testament, the 
term Passover was used to denote the whole week.   This same week, in its 
entirety (including the "day" of Passover), was  also called the Feast of 
Unleavened bread.  YaHshua was nailed to the  cross 3 hours before the 15th 
was to begin, or 9 o'clock a.m., the end  of the 14th of Nisan. 21 hours 
before, YaHshua told his disciples to  prepare the Passover:
    "Now the first day of the feast of unleavened bread the disciples 
     came to YaHshua, saying unto Him, Where wilt thou that we prepare
     for thee to eat the Passover?"  (Matt 26:17.)
also
    "After two days was the feast of the Passover, and of unleavened 
     bread:..."  (Mark 14:1.)  [This was to document that these Feasts
     were spoken of interchangeably.]
and 
    "And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the 
     Passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we 
     go and prepare that thou mayest eat the Passover?" (Mark 14:12.)
As you can see, YaHshua's disciples killed the Passover at 3 p.m., or  
between the evenings, according to the command.  They went to a house  which 
had been prepared to receive them.  There they roasted the lamb,  which would 
have taken up to 6 hours (no micro-waves).  They consumed  it at about 9 p.m. 
 Then YaHshua did something unconventional.  After  eating the lamb, nothing 
else was to be consumed.  However, he took  bread, blessed and broke it, 
saying, "Take and eat, this is my Body..."  Then He did something even more 
incredible.  He took the special cup of  wine that had be pour for the 
special guest.  This was the one whom was  to keep the "Moed" or appointed 
time.  This was EL.  And the cup was  the "Cup of El."  Most believe this to 
have been the cup of Elijah.   But this is a false assumption.  It was the 
cup of YaHVaH!  When  YaHshua took this cup and blessed it, He stated:  "Take 
and drink, this  is "MY" cup...."  After which they sang Psalms and later 
departed to  Gethsemany.  There was time during that night to pray in the 
garden, be  taken by the High Priest's guard, taken before Pilot, then Herod, 
and,  once again, back to Pilot.  By the sixth hour of the period called  
"Morning,"  Pilot turned YaHshua over to his crucifiers.  From this  time, 
until the time that he was actually nailed to the cross, was  about 3 hours.  
Remember, He was whipped, then led down Via de la Rosa  to the place of the 
skull.  This would take some time.  He was nailed  to the cross at 9 a.m.  
The day ended with darkness (at noon).  He then  died, the Bread of Life, at 
3 p.m. on the 15th, the Day of the Feast of  Unleavened Bread.  It is 
symbolic that he died on the first day of the  Feast of Unleavened Bread, for 
He was crucified outside the city  walls. A lamb had to be killed within the 
city walls.  All outside the  walls, who could not enter the city because of 
the multitude, had to  substitute the lamb, with Unleavened Bread.  YaHshua, 
in His death,  showed a combining of the Exodus Lamb, with the Bread of Life. 
 Being  crucified, or nailed to the cross, on the day of Passover, but dying 
on  the Feast of Unleavened Bread.

I did my brother, I did.  The context is the same. ?:^)
