From these two articles "April 3, AD 33 | Andreas J. Köstenberger and Justin Taylor | First Things", "When Was Jesus Born, and When Did He Die Biblical Foundations" and "7 clues tell us *precisely* when Jesus died (the year, month, day, and hour revealed) |Blogs | NCRegister.com", I gathered the following:
- Beginning of John the Baptist's ministry in the 15th year of Tiberius's reign (Luke 3:1-2) - AD 28 or AD 29;
- Three Passovers mentioned (John 2:13, John 6:4, John 11:55) - at least 3 years;
- Crucified on a Friday (Matthew 27:62, Mark 15:42, Luke 23:54, John 19:31, John 19:42);
- Crucified at Passover (Matthew 26:2, Mark 14:1, Luke 22:1, John 18:39);
- Jesus died at the ninth hour (Matthew 27:45-50, Mark 15:34-37, Luke 23:44-46).
Based on the above, we can conclude that Jesus died precisely on 3rd April AD 33 at 3:00 pm.
