John 11:51-12:1 ~ The Jews make plans to kill Jesus. He travels back to Bethany, six days before his final Passover and death. Bethany was a village about 2 miles from Jerusalem. As Capernaum might be thought of as Jesus's home in Galilee, Bethany was his home in Judea. Martha and Mary and their brother Lazarus lived there.
You can see transferring dates
can be a bit confusing.
Moving forward, as we transfer Jewish Bible events from the Jewish Calendar date they happened, to our Gregorian calendar dates, the portion of the months used
[from March or April] will be understood to represent the first half of Jewish month
[Nisan], and the specific dates given in March and April will represent only the first half of the corresponding Jewish date given. That is necessary because sunset on the Gregorian calendar date represents the start of a new day on the Jewish calendar, their dates and days being sunset to sunset, as different from our sunrise to sunrise days... While it seems inaccurate not to declare that, don't pay it much mind. The simple effort here is to lay the last few days of Jesus life, leading to his death and resurrection, onto the corresponding days in our day in time: To know each day what happened to Jesus some 2000 years ago today! So, "Nisan 7+" simply means the last half of Nisan 7 plus the first half of Nisan 8 starting at sundown...
