I am sorry, Tigva, but threatening to make changes after I have defended my edits is harassment. The evidence that you have presented has been known to me for years. The beginning of Jesus' ministry could be no earlier than the 15th year of the reign of Tiberius Caesar. Even with co-regency, that would be no earlier than AD 27. Most historians hold to the AD 29 date. I pointed out that Luke says "about" 30, so it leaves things open for a life span of longer than 33 years. I will change the date to 2 BC, though, for I put 3 BC by mistake. Most evidence supports Apr. 3, AD 33, for the crucifixion.

Unfortunately, three of the four gospels disagree with a straight on reading of John's gospel on the day of the passover. It is clear that Jesus died AS our passover, so he would die at the passover. The meal (the "Last Supper" was not a "regular" passover meal.  Jesus was the lamb, and there is no mention of their preparing a lamb for the last supper.  In all likelihood the meal was "in place of" the passover with Jesus giving himself in the garden in preparation.

Thank you for the pictures, though I think the third one was probably more accurate. The hair seems a bit long, based on the shroud. And all three pictures may be "too European" in appearance (especially the whiteness of the skin).
