Matt 26 - So me people claim that Yeshua was crucified on a Friday, but that is not possible.

Mat 26:2 "You know that after two days the Passover is coming, and the Son of Man is to be delivered up for crucifixion."

Now, if we have this timing correct, this is on a Tuesday and Passover is on Thursday in 32 AD.. Some people claim that Yeshua was crucified on a Friday, but that is not possible. We are told in John 11:54 to John 12:1 that Yeshua traveled from Bethany to Jerusalem six days previous. That means He would have walked at least 15 miles as the crow flies on that day. It was probably closer to 25 miles or more since waterways had to be crossed. If Yeshua were crucified on a Friday, six days previous would have been on the Sabbath Day. He probably would not have traveled that far on the Sabbath. Paul sometimes made it a point not to travel on the Sabbath. Yeshua would have done the same unless it was absolutely necessary. Many claim that Passover in 32 AD would have been on a Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday. It is difficult to say precisely what day of the week Passover would have been on in the past. Sir Robert Anderson, Chief Inspector of Scotland yard said that Passover was on Thursday in 32 AD. I think his findings are as good as any.
