Dating Palm Sunday And Good Friday

I just got this book from church, "A Resolved Chronology of Acts and Paul's Epistle" by Lim Seng Hoo. In it the date of Palm Sunday was given as 6 April 32 AD and 11 April 32 AD as Good Friday.

Let me also summarize my previous posts on this subject and the dates.

In Precise Date and Time of Jesus's Death, Jesus died precisely on 3 April AD 33 at 3:00 pm (Good Friday).

In Calculating Gabriel's Formula of 483 Years - Time of Messiah's Arrival, Palm Sunday was on 30 March AD 33, the very day of the triumphal entry of Jesus into Jerusalem. An alternate date, 6 April 32 AD, was given in Calculating Gabriel's Formula of 483 Years - Time of Messiah's Arrival - 2. This alternate date is the same as the date given by Lim Seng Hoo's book.

In Dating the End of Daniel's 69 Weeks, Palm Sunday is on 6 Nisan AD 33.

Finally, in Dating Palm Sunday, there is no date. Just an affirmation according to Barnes' Notes on the Bible that the triumphant entry and crucifixion will happen after the completion of 62 weeks.

Sir Robert Anderson (6 April / 10 Nisan and 11 April AD 32)
Dr Harold Hoehner (30 March and April 3 / 14 Nisan AD 33)
This book, Oxford Bible Church - Appendix 2: Anderson-Hoehner Interpretation (a Critique), said both Anderson and Hoehner were wrong.
