Both camps—we and the lunar Sabbatarians—believe that Jesus died on the sixth day of the week, and it was the year AD 31.
The Bible is very clear in the gospel accounts that the day of the crucifixion was the day of preparation—the sixth day of the week—the day before the Sabbath
“And Jesus cried with a loud voice, and gave up the ghost…. And now when the even was come, because it was the preparation, that is, the day before the Sabbath”. Mark 15:37, 42
We have this confirmation, of the sixth day of the week crucifixion, from the pen of inspiration as well.
“Trouble seemed crowding upon trouble. On the sixth day of the week they had seen their Master die” {DA 794.2}.
How do we say that the year of crucifixion was AD 31? Based on the 70 weeks prophecy of Daniel 9 we know that AD 31 is accurate. The 70th week of Daniel’s prophecy was from AD 27 to AD 34. And Christ died in the middle of the final prophetic week—which was the spring of AD 31.
There are three further New Testament proofs to show that AD 27 was the year of Baptism of Jesus, which makes AD 31 (after 3 ½ years ministry), the death of our Lord.
