Just watched parts of The Passion by Mel Gibson.
Mary makes an appeal to the Roman soldiers against the Jewish Priestly persecutors of Jeebus. Jewish Children torment the harrowed traitor Judas; one even draws the Apostle's blood. Judas hangs himself with a dead donkey's rope. The Head Priest rents his garments when Jeebus blasphemes. Pilate waxes philosophical. Herod is an effeminate, surrounded by Egyptian courtiers. The priests follow Jesus as he shuffled from Pilate to Herod to Pilate to Roman Centurions. Barabbas is released in lieu of Jeebus at the Crowd's angry demands. Jewish women harangue the tepid apostles.
<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->According to John, however, the Passover meal was to be eaten on the last evening before Jesus was crucified, so that the Last Supper was eaten on the evening of 14th of Nisan and the crucifixion was on the 14th, with <b>Jesus dying approximately at the same time that the lambs for the Passover were being slaughtered in Herod's Temple of Jerusalem -- around 3 PM </b>("at the ninth hour"), so that the Jews could celebrate the Passover that evening (starting Friday night).<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
