    What Day was Jesus Crucified?

    The word translated, "between the two evenings, used in Ex 12:6 has two schools of thoughts about its interpretation. One being from noon to sunset (or at what time one believe the sun is descending). The other defines it as that small gap of time from sunset to dark. My option is with the...
