John Chapter 12:12 on Palm Sunday Jesus sits on a Donkey in the temple. This is the second time in the past 7 days. A voice from heaven speaks. Everyone expects something epic from Jesus but he says just a few sentences about dying then leaves.
Matthew 26, Mark 14, Luke 22
In the evening, Jesus performs Havdalah after finishing tish with his disciples.
John chapter 13, Judas takes the shirayim and immediately leaves to betray him.
John Chapters 14 to 17, after Havdalah Jesus tells his disciples about the Paraclete as they walk from Mount Zion to the Mount of Olives. Jesus leaves his disciples in the garden and takes James John and Zebedee a stone's throw further. He then goes on himself a little further to pray alone and is strengthened by an Angel.
Jesus is arrested in the garden of Gethsemane and taken to the house of Annas. A disciple known to Anna's let's Peter in. Jesus speaks. A young man runs away naked and Peter denies Jesus before the cock crows twice as Jesus is taken from the house of Annas.
HOLY MONDAY 16th Aviv
Matthew 26:57-67, Mark 14:53-65, Luke 22:66-71, John 18:24.
At break of day (sunrise) on Monday Jesus was brought from Annas to Caiaphas, the Chef Priests, Scribes and Elders. Jesus reveals the Pardes infuriating the Sadducees.
We are told at this point that Judas hanged himself. But I doubt that we can take it that he did so at this time rather than later.
HOLY TUESDAY 17th Aviv
Matt 27:11-14, Mark 15:1-5, Luke 23:1-7, John 18:28-37.

Pilate ponders, "what is truth?" then frees Barabbas, is scourge and crowned with thorns and when the sun had set after a long day, Pilate washes his hands and Jesus is finally sentenced to Crucifixion by 21pm preparation day night.

AZUMOS (15th NISAN) & PALM SUNDAY
Palm Sunday is always on the Sadducee 15th of Aviv. Since we are told that after the Lazarus Feast meal on Erev Shabbat HaGadol, in the Morning of the 15th John's Gospel states that Jesus sat on a donkey in the Temple of Jerusalem a second time.
John 12:12-17:26
Riding on Yom Tov is a practice which has subsequently been prohibited by Rabbinical decree meaning that no other Torah observant Jew can ever do that again. But such Rabbinical decress are not retroactive, so the NT Jesus can never be regarded as having broken that law. Messianic Noahides only observe the 15th as the first of the 7 days of Matsos to abstain from Chametz. It is the Day they prepare their first fruit Omers and it is the day they celebrate the Bat Kol.
THE HAVDALAH SEDER AFTER AZUMOS
The most important thing for Messianic Noahides is the Havdalah (Melave Malka) which takes place after the sun has set on the 15th when the Eve of the 16th begins because they do not observe the regular Pesach Seder on the eve of the 15th.
At this Messianic Noahide "Melave Malka Seder" on the Eve of the 16th, there is no Pesach Lamb served, only a bone leftover from the Lazarus Hagigah of the 14th symbolizing the Pesach Lamb's bones which were given to the dogs in Egypt in order to make the Egyptians bury the bones of their idol. By displaying Lamb bones on their tables for the Melave Malka Seder, Messianic Noahides perform an act of "nullifying the idol".
After the Melave Malka on the Eve of the 16th, Jesus was arrested in the Garden of Gethsemane.
RESHEIT KATZIR (16th-17th NISAN)These days the 16th is a solemn Sabbath appointed by the Rabbonim of the Exile. Messianic Noahides must observe the Solemn Sabbath of the 16th as the day their Firstfruit (Resheit Katzir) was "waved" by the Chief Priests and Sadducees being passed from Ananias to Caiphas on the 16th and from Caiaphas to Pilate on the 17th. Then from Pilate to Herod on the 18th then Herod to Pilate again on the 19th before being crucified on the 20th.
ΕΟΡΤΗΣ / KOL HAMOED (18th-19th NISAN)He was then passed from Pilate to Herod on the 18th and finally from Herod back to Pilate again on the 19th who washed his hands of the situation by midnight.
PARASKEUE (20th NISAN)Paraskeué refers to the preparation day on the 20th of Nisan when Jesus was crucified in the morning and buried before sunset.
PASCHA (21st NISAN)
Pascha is the Romaniote Jewish word for the holy Yom Tov Sabbath of the 21st which begins after sunset on Paraskeue. Messianic Noahides commemorate it as the Harrowing of Hades.
