LONDON (AFP) – Christians have long celebrated Jesus Christ's Last Supper on Maundy Thursday but new research released Monday claims to show it took place on the Wednesday before the crucifixion.

Professor Colin Humphreys, a scientist at the University of Cambridge, believes it is all due to a calendar mix-up -- and asserts his findings strengthen the case for finally introducing a fixed date for Easter.

Humphreys uses a combination of biblical, historical and astronomical research to try to pinpoint the precise nature and timing of Jesus's final meal with his disciples before his death.

Researchers have long been puzzled by an apparent inconsistency in the Bible.

While Matthew, Mark and Luke all say the Last Supper coincided with the start of the Jewish festival of Passover, John claims it took place before Passover.

Humphreys has concluded in a new book, "The Mystery Of The Last Supper", that Jesus -- along with Matthew, Mark and Luke -- may have been using a different calendar to John.

"Whatever you think about the Bible, the fact is that Jewish people would never mistake the Passover meal for another meal, so for the Gospels to contradict themselves in this regard is really hard to understand," Humphreys said.

"Many biblical scholars say that, for this reason, you can't trust the Gospels at all. But if we use science and the Gospels hand in hand, we can actually prove that there was no contradiction."

In Humphreys' theory, Jesus went by an old-fashioned Jewish calendar rather than the official lunar calendar which was in widespread use at the time of his death and is still in use today.

This would put the Passover meal -- and the Last Supper -- on the Wednesday, explaining how such a large number of events took place between the meal and the crucifixion.

It would follow that Jesus' arrest, interrogation and separate trials did not all take place in the space of one night but in fact occurred over a longer period.

Humphreys believes a date could therefore be ascribed to Easter in our modern solar calendar, and working on the basis that the crucifixion took place on April 3, Easter Day would be on April 5.

"..and the evening and morning were the first day"..Genesis 1:5
The Jews count the day starting at 6PM to the morning, the  crucifixion of the Lord Jesus was
the fulfillment of the scripture; He was buried and rose  on the third day.

Nisan 14- the Lord's Passover (Israel's Passover Preparation Day) Exo 12:1-6
 Tuesday -6PM (first watch) Jesus observed Passover in the upper room with His apostles (John 1:29)

 Tuesday -12 midnight (third watch) Jesus was  judged and found guilty of blasphemy by the Sanhedrin  (Mat 26:59, 65, 66)
 Wednesday -6AM (first hour) Jesus taken to Pilate at Anthony's Tower to be judged and sentenced (Mat 27:1, 2, 33-35)
 Wednesday -9AM (third hour) Jesus nailed to the cross (Mat 27:33-35)
 Wednesday - 12 noon : darkness over the Earth to the ninth hour (Mark 15:33)

           "For as Jonas was three days and three nights in the whale's belly; so shall the Son of man be
             three days and three nights in the heart of the earth" (Jonah 1:17, Matthew 12:40)

  Jesus arrived in Jerusalem on the eve of Nisan 9 because He came to fulfill the Father's will that He be the Lamb of God
        who would take away the sins of the world.
  Lambs chosen for Passover must be separated from parents for seven days before the day of preparation.
  Jesus was anointed by Mary on Nisan 10 for His death, because a sacrificial lamb must be chosen (anointed) on this day,
        four days before the Passover.
  Nisan 10 the year Christ was crucified was indicated to be Saturday sabbath, four days later on Wednesday, Jesus was crucified. (John 19:31)

  Jesus not only must have fulfilled every specific prophecy, but also every example and type,
       else He could not have been the Messiah.
