* The eclipse of the moon: Antiquities, by Josephus; XVII. VI. 5; XVII. VIII. 1; XVII. IX. 3.
The Life & Times of Jesus the Messiah, A. Edersheim; Eerdmans Pub. Co., 1972, Vol. 1, page 218.
Herod the Great died in late 4 BC, therefore Yahshua was born not later than 4 BC (MT. 2)

** Thirty-one AD is the only year between 27 AD (inclusive) in which Abib 14 fell on Wednesday.

The harmony existing between the dates of Yahshua's birth and death and the events associated with them, as shown above, will not fit into any other time span, it seems; only between 4 BC and 31 AD Thus, the years of Yahshua's life are established.
By using the EARTHWATCH program you can verify the above information. Note that March 31 AD (Julian Calendar) the New Moon is visible on the evening of the 13th making the 14th the first day of the month. The Equinox accrued on the 23rd. Do the same for April 31 AD.

 The days of the week did not fall right in March, 31 AD. Passover would have fallen on Monday night, but the Gospels indicate Passover fell on Wednesday. Therefore Passover & Yahshua's death evidently occurred, not in March, but in April of AD 31.
