About This Book
The tradition is old. But the text is older.

What if the tradition is wrong?

For seventeen centuries, the church has placed the crucifixion on a Friday. But Friday gives you two nights in the tomb — not three. It leaves you with a spice-buying sequence that contradicts itself. And it breaks the one sign Jesus Himself gave to prove who He was.

This book doesn’t start with tradition. It starts with the text.

Following the time markers that Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John actually wrote — “the next day,” “after two days,” “six days before the Passover” — a different week emerges. A week where two independent Gospel chronologies converge on the same day. A week where every authority in Israel examines Jesus and finds no fault. A week where the Lamb of God dies on the exact day, at the exact hour, that God commanded the Passover lamb to be killed fifteen centuries earlier.

The Last Week of the Lamb is not a commentary. It is not a denominational position. It is a guided walk through the text itself — every conclusion shown, every assumption identified, every inference labeled honestly. No verse is asked to carry more weight than it can bear.

You will not be asked to take anyone’s word for it. You will be asked to open your Bible.

The tradition is old. But the text is older.

How to Read This Book
A walk through the week, one section at a time.

The book unfolds in four parts. Part One opens the blueprint God gave in Egypt and traces it through prophecy. An Interlude teaches the two rules of the Hebrew calendar you will need before you step into the week itself.

Part Two walks day by day through the final week — the entry into Jerusalem, the examinations, the anointing, the Passover meal, the trials, and the crucifixion. Part Three counts the three days and three nights. Part Four walks out of the tomb.

You can read straight through, or jump to any section using the dropdown on each page. Your place will be remembered as you visit each section, and you can mark each one complete when you finish.

A Note on Scripture
Translation, methodology, and honesty with the text.

Scripture quotations are taken from the New American Standard Bible® (NASB), Copyright © 1960, 1971, 1977, 1995, 2020 by The Lockman Foundation. Used by permission. All rights reserved. (www.lockman.org)

The methodology throughout is simple: Scripture interprets Scripture. Every conclusion is shown from the text. Every assumption is identified. Every inference is labeled. Where the text is silent, this book is silent.
