Coinciding

Seventh-day Shabbats

and Aviv 21

from 36 CE through 50 CE

- in Reference to Acts 20:6-7

Abstract:

Using the NASA Phases of the Moon tables it is easy to determine when the Feast of Unleavened Bread and other biblical feast days occurred in a given year. Once the dates of one of those feasts are determined it is an easy matter to find out which days of the week they fall on. In Acts 20:6-7 Paul has provided us with some very useful information which may be used for excluding some of the years in the range of years being considered for the events recorded in Acts 20:6-7:

The Greek text of Textus Receptus, re Acts 20:6-7, makes it clear that, in the year of the Pentecost that we are focusing upon in this study, the Seventh Day of the Feast of Unleavened Bread, i.e. Aviv 21, and the weekly Seventh-day Shabbat coincided:

As may be seen below neither 37 CE, 38 CE, 41 CE, 42 CE, 45 CE, 46 CE, 48 CE, or 49 CE, allow for a concurrent weekly Shabbat and 7^th Day of the Feast of Unleavened Breads. Saturday April 7^th 36 CE, Saturday April 4^th 39 CE, Saturday April 23^rd 40 CE, Saturday April 20, 43 CE, Saturday May 9, 44 CE, Saturday May 6, 47 CE, and Saturday May 2, 50 CE are all potentially possible candidates meeting the criteria of a potential concurrent weekly Seventh Day Shabbat and Seventh Day of the Feast of Unleavened Breads, however.

Legend:

[Blue digits in the calendars below represent the Biblical days of the lunar month. Black digits pertain to the Julian calendar. Black bold digits in the Julian calendar represents potential New Moon days beginning the day prior with a visible New Moon crescent. The days of interest for our purposes here are highlighted in bold red font. Every month including a potential Aviv 1 is included, i.e. per the criteria given at this link as applied to the NASA Phases of the Moon tables unto which I have added in blue font the numbers of possible the biblical lunar moon numbers. Likewise every potential Aviv 1 of interest within each of said months is included below as is also every Aviv 15 and Aviv 21 since these are the 1^st and 7^th Days of the Feast of Unleavened Breads.]

March 18, 36 CE = the earliest possible Aviv 1.
