There is conflicting evidence in the New Testament with regard to the death of Jesus. The synoptic Gospels imply that it was after the Passover, while the Gospel of John says he was crucified just prior to the Passover and gave up his spirit approximately at the time the Passover was to be slaughtered. Therefore we can conclude that while the Gospels may disagree on an exact time for Jesus' death, it is reasonably discernible that the purpose of the Gospel writers was to emphasize the significance of Passover observance. For it is their mention of the feast where they ultimately find common ground. ----
