The year of the death of Jesus Nisan 10 was on the Seventh Day Sabbath - on Palm Saturday not Sunday. It was the date when Jesus presented Himself in Jerusalem. John 12 tells us that Jesus was in Bethany at the home of Lazarus the evening of Nisan 9. The next morning which was Nisan 10 He left Bethany and made His Triumphal Entrance in Jerusalem.

Exodus 12 tells us that Nisan 10 is the date that the Passover Lamb was to be selected. On that date the year of His death Jesus presented Himself as our Passover Lamb as He rode on the back of a donkey in Jerusalem. Afterwards He went into the Temple and then returned to Bethany to the home of Lazarus, Mary and Martha.

Prior to that time Jesus had learned of the death of Lazarus. Only after Lazarus had been dead for four days did Jesus go to Bethany to raise Lazarus from his physical death.

Prior to that time Jesus had learned of the death of Lazarus. Only after Lazarus had been dead for four days did Jesus go to Bethany to raise Lazarus from his physical death. The Jewish people believe the body begins corruption on the fourth day. Jesus wanted to show His power of resurrection over a dead physical body that had suffered corruption.

Jesus was the firstfruits of the resurrection from the death of a physical body into an incorruptible body being given eternal life.  His body suffered no corruption.  He was resurrected on the third day of Passover - the third day after the death of His physical body.  Lazarus had to die again after he was resurrected. Lazarus experienced a second physical death but was not hurt by it.
